This is not a good company to work for 
They do not show the team members no appreciation, No appreciation days no rewards, no bonuses no raises etc. NOT NOTHING! Only one get raises and bonuses is management but we the ones doing the job standing on our feet eight to twelve hours a day. Overtime is mandatory rather you want to do it or not. Benefits super high and your pay rate don't support it. It may seem good with the start pay but you will be stuck at that pay range for years and no room to Advance. If you see a job bid it's always starting at a very low pay rate. And the turnover rate is so high cause whats the point of working at this company if you can't accomplish nothing with the very low pay rate and no performance raises. People trying to survive and pay bills, u can't even move without making three times the rent so whats the point of working here if it's not going to help you move or accomplish nothing. U will be forced to work 12 hours mandatory overtime 2 or 3 days a week leaving you to owe the irs at the end of the year and that is not fair to the team members. Long as its beneficiary to the company they don't care if you owe thousands of dollars to the irs at the end of the year.  If you treat your people right, people will stay and want to work for this company. As long as the management pay is good they don't care about the team members. Team Leads very unprofessional. If you want to work for a good growing company avoid this one cause you will be disappointed. If they change upper management it will be a good company to work for cause the work is easy once you learn it.  The orientation lady at the front desk is so rude very nasty Attitude so most of the time the people don't even return after the orientation

If you value your family, your mental health, and your overall well-being, do not work here. This workplace is a nightmare of toxicity and disorganization that breeds chaos, stress, and frustration at every turn.

Firstly, the turnover rate is through the roof. Hardly anyone stays for more than a few months, and it’s not hard to see why. The environment is extremely toxic, with management that’s either clueless or downright hostile. There’s no sense of leadership or direction—every department is a mess. Procedures are non-existent or ignored, leading to constant confusion and finger-pointing. You’ll find yourself working long hours to cover for the lack of proper staffing and organization, with zero recognition or appreciation.

Communication is abysmal. You’ll often be left in the dark about important decisions, and when you do get information, it’s usually too late or incorrect. The disorganization permeates every aspect of the job, from unclear job roles to last-minute demands that throw your entire day into chaos.

The worst part is how this place impacts your life outside of work. The stress and anxiety spill over into your personal life, making it impossible to relax or enjoy time with your loved ones. The constant pressure and negativity will wear you down, leaving you drained and demoralized.

In summary, if you love your family and your peace of mind, stay far, far away from this place. It’s simply not worth the toll it takes on your life. You deserve better.

Working with this company was great. My day was busy, although it seems my job was a routine, each part/task would have a different deadline which would keep me on my toes. I had to search for parts need it at the same time finding thee most competitive price. Receiving parts and adding them to our inventory while entering everything received and ordered in a spreadsheet i created. By the end of each week, this report was sent to my manager and plant manager. Always looking for ways to stay withing our monthly budget yet ensuring the parts would get received at a timely matter. I learn to shop and deal with different vendors our company uses and also learned how to bring different vendors to provide us with the same quality and quantity of parts at a more competitive price. My managers worked well with me and allowed/entrusted me to do what was best for the maintenance department. 

I'm a great worker who cares has great attitude and attendance I'm not selected for advancement but people who break rules good off and clearly don't take their job seriously get the positions they want here it's about who you know not what you do culture is zero moral is zero team work is zero most people here either have been here forever and think they know everything and the best way to do it and new people just care about the check the overtime is thrown at you but not when you sign up so you get random days that might not work with your schedule and will cause attendance issues if you can't make the shift the pay is decent but there's no work life balance and a good hard worker will get the short end of the stick and burnt out quickly I doubt hr and management know what takes place truly on the production floor they are never there but it's not an awesome place to work tons of changes need be made that will never happen so turnover will remain high company moral non existent and everyone for themselves 

As a drop/machine operator, especially on cookie side, the hardest area known as Pre-B... It is the hardest and most "needy" job position in the entire factory ... Management comes and goes, it is the same with employment ...  Certain races only care about their own, it's diverse but the Asians get worked out the hardest .. there is no incentive on any respect, some of the white employees especially on 2nd shift line end operation get privileges and basically "spread their legs" and get paid for doing nothing, they should be fired .. the quality control guys are a joke they talk and do nothing and get paid, the sanitation department always loses everything needed for a proper functioning on a line ... It's ridiculous ... The most talented individuals get let go while the lazy ones stay sitting on their bloated butts eating free money an hour .... This place does care about it's people though, but Human Resources ensures everyone gets fired.... Attendance is very strict .... Don't matter because I'll be leaving in a couple months!

I had no training on the first day of hire. I worked my way up from a packer to a operator, and I was also cross-trained in the production and oven area as well. There’s a whole lack of communication when it comes to overflow of bread being backed up, you tell the whole team in the packing room to help out and they refuse to help. When it comes down to housecleaning, employees would make excuses on not picking up or would eventually wait until the next shift comes in and then would have to stay after to clean up the last minute. The break times get stressful, since some employees want to go to break together and we can’t always allow everyone to go together at all time, and they don’t understand that and eventually they would take over 30 minutes for lunch. I like the free coffee/bread for breaks and all and would like this job if everyone would communicate more and help eachother more. Otherwise, this job is stressful.

I have loved the environment at Rise. The team has been welcoming, friendly, and has a sense of humor. Management (for the most part) is approachable and takes time to understand you. The team on the floor is very diverse and works VERY hard. I appreciate that Plant Management is willing to implement changes to make improvements for the overall team (like making equipment improvements, improving hourly pay rates, moving paid holidays to make extended breaks, creating positions for growth, etc). 

Hardest part is the lack of hourly employees overnight. It makes it more stressful to keep up with demand. Rise leadership (including HR) touches base with the overnight team frequently to ensure they're heard and concerns addressed (including slowing down the production line). 

What is the best part of working at the company?
This cake company's management is ineffective. Human Resources overlooks problems impacting Black and Hispanic staff. Time and lunch violations are excessive, and cake safety standards are suboptimal, indicating a lack of attention. You don't want to buy any cake from here

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Lack of solid training.  No solid answers to questions.  No official training documents.  Managers pick favorites and promote their friends.  The blind are leading the blind.  The rules are not the same for each department.  Management is extremely top heavy and 98% are white men.  Lack of diversity at the top.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Horrible.  It's like walking on eggshells waiting for the other shoe to drop.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A combination of stressful and depressing .

The job's not too physically demanding.. but the environment is toxic .....hard-working individuals get to carry the load for non-productive co-workers.. speaking up to management will get you a Target on your back.. some of the regular employees there are great people and I love them to death. But ultimately it's upper management lack of accountability and unwillingness to take action when problems arise with employees that ruined the job for me... Favoritism was a huge problem.. pointing out problems get you targeted.. when HR or management investigates a problem that just means they talk to a couple of their favorites and whatever is said is to them the truth.
