Polkadog Bakery

A typical day almost entirely revolves around customer service and general store maintenance. Perfect if you enjoy interacting with and helping people. The daily dog visits are a huge plus!!

Management overall provides you with enough direction and feedback to complete your tasks to the best of your ability, with an emphasis on positivity and constructive criticism. I have never felt belittled or undervalued.

I've learned a lot with my time here. I have been able to see my ideas come to fruition and feel that my creativity is valued by even those at the highest level. You're encouraged to push yourself and nothing goes unrewarded. The growth potential here is huge if you're willing to work for it.

Because it is a growing company things can sometimes be confusing and lacking communication, but that is to be expected. That's really the only thing I believe needs work.

The best part of my day is being able to help a pet parent find the best product for their fur child. Also, again, dogs!

a typical day would be to come in turn on all machinery that need to be turned on check stock for availability, make the dough that needed to be made and bake it off. I learned a lot about dog and what they like and don't like. management was very good. they treated us very well. one good example of this birthdays. the owner would buy a cake for the birthday person or dog.the workplace was very diverse with many different cultures and styles but we always  were always able to work as one unit.I would say the hardest part of this job was when someone was out or when something wasn't ordered.  yes it was harder but in the end everything always worked out. The most enjoyable part of the job was some of the hilarious practical jokes  some of the employees would come up with

- Higher than the average minimum wage job with room for bonuses and pay raises. 
- PTO is accrued 
- No health benefits but sick leave is available. 
- Very cool people to work with and overall great environment if you enjoy dogs, people and working for a smaller more intimate company. 
- This is a slow paced job for the most part so you have to be personally responsible for keeping up with tasks, cleaning, inventory etc. 
- If you have a great work ethic, good accountability and time management this is the job for you. Customer service should be excellent and you should be detail oriented. 

Overall I highly recommend this job and think my experience as a current employee has been great and very educational.

Customer service is a top priority at Polkadog. We get to know our customers and grow relationships with both pet parents and pets alike! I have a great working relationship with all coworkers and we have fun throughout the day. I love that I can use my creative side to merchandise the store to keep things looking fresh and full. Management has always been helpful, and they welcome any questions or concerns I have had. The best part of the job is the visiting dogs that come in everyday! Also that we all work as a team and that management continuously recognize efforts made and reward us. Overall Polkadog is a great place to work and grow in your career.

Honestly the best work environment I've worked in, in a long time. It's a place where people can feel supported and feel good about what they do. Retail can be tough and working with dogs makes it so much better. The hardest part of the job is that it is a very independant type of work place. You have to keep youself motivated and doing the right thing. If you can't do that or need to be given regular direction, this may not be the place for you. All the tools needed to be successful are given to you, but you have to be the type to go do it.

A significant part of the job is being nice and friendly to people and their dogs, which is fun. 

The pay is competitive and they pay a little more to make up for the lack of health insurance. Good bonuses too.

They definitely push you here to learn and progress, and to do a great job.

The hardest part of the job is that it's retail and helping customers/talking to people  every day can be exhausting. It's rewarding though when they leave super happy.

The best part of the job is being a part of something that people are excited about. Almost all of the customers love this place and are happy to be there.

Best part of the job is the ability to learn a ton about running a business and rapid promotions for hard workers. Getting to make humans and dogs happy on a daily basis is a plus too. It feels great to work for a company that the customers love so much. You get the occasional doozy, but most are great and love Polkadog.

There are hard days and sometimes things change without much notice, but that's life in a up and coming company. Overall, this is the best place I've worked.

Retail can be a grind but working at Polkadog is incredibly rewarding. You have the opportunity to make genuine connections with customers and their dogs. A lot of the business is repeat customers so you really have the chance to be a part of a community rather just punching in and punching out. The first job I’ve never taken home with me after work and the first job I’ve never been bummed to wake up and go to. They really try to provide a safe and inclusive workplace as well. 

I worked at Polkadog for about a year as a sales associate. I fostered great relationships with my coworkers & the customers, but management was super unprofessional and disorganized. I would've stayed if both my regional & store manager weren't so unprofessional. The work environment became extremely hostile towards the end of my employment. 

I started off at Polkadog as a Sales Associate, I loved the store and the atmosphere of the clients and dogs I had the pleasure of meeting. I was later promoted to a corporate position and it is the best job that I have ever had. I feel very respected and valued here at Polkadog, which is something that I think is truly valuable.
