It's definitely worth it if you're not too picky and need to become employed again or at some place better than your current locale. No former college enrollment or prior related experience is needed to do this sort of work. You must be in at least basic shape to perform tasks, as this is technically manual labor and you're on your feet the entire shift. It's pretty mindless and boring as well, but that can be perfectly okay on certain days.   

Definitely a good place to work at for those that are content with entry level work where you only have to do the bare minimum. But the work culture there is pretty stale and borderline toxic at times. Heavy favoritism and condensing attitudes from upper management defeats drive for improvement. But the union does protect your job and works hard to get you back in your position. But also will not have your back in the fight for better rights or unlawful termination. They will allow you to work yourself to the bone with no opposition nor appreciation. Then write you up or unlawfully terminate someone when they feel slighted. The examples of this are many and happens constantly. But I reiterate, it's simple enough to get your job back,  union is at least good for that. Also protect YOURSELF from covid. 

Get ready to hustle , start at 3am. load bread, rolls for the days deliveries to food stores, corner stores, restaurants. Go through bread and rolls for expired dates, remove old and pack out new bread/rolls. Take inventory of stock, throw outs and new. 
No coworkers you doing the job on your own, so you must know how to read a map, take inventory, and make the shelves look full and pretty for the customers.
Hardest part of the job is getting use to the hours, now I know what the term "Bread widow" now means. lol
Enjoyable part of job is doing your job without a boss looking over your shoulder and making the store owners, customers happy.

I hate to give a bad review but I don’t have many good things to say. Everything is outdated from technology to the inner working of the office organization. Positions are labeled incorrectly and are not in accordance with positions of the same name in the industry. There is no real training. The job culture is the absolute worst. You can’t trust anyone and there is no separation of departments, thus leading to lower morale. Those in positions of management do not understand the job functions of those they manage. They also use others to complete their work and interrupt others daily tasks. 

In layman's terms the typical day is putting out the fires, then making proper plans so the issue is less likely to occur again. Spend time on the territory speaking with customers and sales reps. Spend time in the office answering emails, running reports, analyzing data, and formulating plans for future sales trends. The hardest part of the job is explaining shortfalls to customers in a manner that will not lessen their confidence in the company. The most enjoyable part of the job is watching a plan come to fruition. Reacting to a business trend quickly and making a positive result

What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part about this company 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication in the workplace between management and workers. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Unenjoyable at all points of the day. There are broken, warehouse fans, broken warehouse doors. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Eight hour shift of constant, lifting, pushing, pulling, barely have time to even eat lunch in a full shift

This company promises a 5 day work week but you will work at least 6 if not 7 days a week. They are "closed on Wednesdays and Sundays but you will work one or both of those days. All drivers own their routes but management will go in and change the orders without approval of the independent operators, adding product that doesn't get sold so that the warehouse looks more organized. 
For the compensation they offer it is not worth it.
The only good thing about this company is the product. I can't say anything negative about the quality of the bread. As for the rest it is the worst company I have ever worked for.

I like Schmidt’s. Working at Schmidt’s has allowed me to pursue a dream of mine. But I can’t foresee myself making a career of Schmidt’s. Your hourly rate is capped out at 21 an hour, due to the union. And the things we do at schmidts could be done at another industrial plant for more money, benefits, and work life. I reccomend schmidts to anyone who’s looking for a decent job with decent pay who doesn’t mind the hours they work

What is the best part of working at the company?
My last day I worked there was the best day & it's not a good company to work for if you have a family to take care of or if you have bills to pay.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Wondering if you're gonna make any money this week

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is out for themselves and no one else

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
The most stress you could ever possibly have

a typical day was very hot, your coworkers were friendly but didn't want to work as a team most of them. the hardest part of the job was management never wanted to help solve a problem. one supervisor was always putting down another one. they were the biggest problem. owners  blame employees for all  the problems and with theft but I seen first hand all the ones who were stealing. and believe me it wasn't the employees. the most enjoyable part was my paycheck.
