Obetz location offers a somewhat acceptable in-between job. Do NOT go here if you desire a career, or are prone to workplace stress.

Building regularly struggled to perform due to combinations of poor direction and engagement from management, underperforming employees not being adequately helped or disciplined, and a general lack of respect for employees' time or well-being.

Frequent mandatory overtime, even off-peak. Expect to work 7 days a week from mid-late November to Christmas, and have about a 50/50 shot at getting your weekend any other time. 

Warehouse was poorly organized, struggling to meet 50% inventory accuracy in freezer ground locations.

Majority of forklifts are old, clunky, and poorly maintained; same goes for RF scanners. Expect to lack sufficient quantity of both for peak season.

Job is secure enough, though due in part to the revolving door. Do not expect a promotion. Company has shown a strong preference for hiring lower management from outside. Horizontal movement is rare, especially if you're good at your job.

Breaks are adequate, attendance policy is relatively lenient. PTO accumulation is based on hours worked, and unreasonably slow. Health care offerings are average.

I would be careful working at this place. Right from the get go this place seemed crazy mismanaged. They brought a big group on as temps including myself and it took a long time to get everyone where they needed to be. I came in for orientation on a previous day and was given a piece of paper that overlaid the dress code ect. When I got there the first day apparently I had violated the dress code even though what I was wearing had not been listed in the packet provided. I was sent home without pay and had wasted gas getting there. You wont be trained properly as managers frequently leave and don't come back for long periods of time. Your trainers will also leave and leave you with very little guidance on how to do the job. You will also be lucky if you can get a full 8 hours in because the workload is so uneven that they will often send people home after 2 or 3 hours which I found irritating because I live almost 50 minutes away. They told me it was a temp job and was only for 2 weeks or so. I really can't judge the company as a whole but I would not recommend this location.

Imagine picking up a tray of cookies, stacking all the cookies on the tray, then you pick up another tray of cookies, then you pick up another tray of cookies, then you pick up another tray of cookies, then you pick up another tray of cookies.....

If you are someone who ruminates or think in even the most basic sense, you will hate this job. You will be so bored and exhausted at the same time that any hint of depression you had before will multiply 1000 fold. 

There is often no notice of schedule changes. It will be Friday and you had the weekend planned out, but as you are leaving the boss tells you that you're coming in Saturday and Sunday or you'll be fired. 

Your hands will swell. You won't have any time to meet people 5 feet away from you. You will feel alone. Every night when people finally get off work they look like children when summer break finally comes. The dread is palpable the next day when you come back to purgatory again.

Chery's had a very diverse work force from the bottom up...or top down if you prefer.  He cookies are actually very good to the point that you soon realize everyone loves Cheryl's cookies. Business is very strong and there are a lot of opportunities coming in the near future. Growth is outpacing staffing; most companies are experiencing the same shortages but Cheryl's is because of increased product demand and not just because people don't want to work. Cheryl's is a good place for people who want to work. It has to be the easiest job in the world... making cookies. 

This is the worst job I’ve ever had. The pay is decent but they over work you. Make you work 6 days a week, just throw you on a job and don’t train you, they don’t care about their workers at all, and HR is the worst! They have no clue about anything and they fire half the people that have been working there for years all because they hired way too many new people for the new shifts so they fired a good amount of employees the very first day they started the new shifts so they obviously don’t care about any of their employees and just care about the number of product they can send out. 

I worked for Cheryl’s for several years as a store manager. The environment his very stressful and you are unappreciated for all of your hard work. There is no room for growth or opportunities to learn other positions within the company. The salary is NOT competitive with other retail management positions. The manager is expected to perform several tasks outside of regular store tasks such as cold calling businesses to solicit potential future sales. All in all the company doesn’t care about their employees, just what you can do for them!

I have worked at Cheryl's for about 3 years and a typical day for me is putting gifts sets together on an assemble line. Some co workers, line leads and supervisors are great to work with while others not so much. A day at work can be anywhere from relaxing to stressful depending on who you work with. Management could improve and so could organization. Basically, it's a good job to work at if you need a paycheck, especially around the holidays, but not if you're looking for career advancement or decent salary.
