Tastykake

the work day starts off with employees changing into the work clothes and hair and beard nets, before entering the warehouse area where the cakes are being made. i learned about all the different machines and what each of them do, how to prepare batter, and icing mix for the cakes, and how to run the machines that wraps the cakes. management is great. the guys who are running the show knows exactly what they're doing. co-workers are good also and very helpful. the hardest part of the job was learning all the machines in one day. the most enjoyable part of the day was leaving after you know u put 100% into your work during your shift.

The facilities are gross, poorly ran from top to bottom but the pay is good. You have to deal with unskilled operators who make zero effort to learn their job. When you get maintenance calls from production stating the machine won’t turn on and you “fix” it by pushing the green button; patience begins to wear thin. Again, if you can deal with a less then desirable employee base and the lack of caring from management but want to be paid well; this place is for you.

10-14 hrs work week

Inventory Control, Merchandizing, and knowledge of your competition including pricing, products, space and position, people, displays, account stability, and sales.

Hardly no communication with management 

Hardest part of the job in orderly properly for store and upcoming sales.

Most enjoyable is the pay (overtime)

Great pay and benefits, if you want a lot of hours and overtime this is the place for you, as long as you don't mind not having a good life/work balance and stay on close doors for 12hours. It is not for everyone and if you don't like long hours and a lot of over time stay away from this place because its not for your.

It's a great with awesome money to make, but you won't have any time for yourself and with life only on your days off. I worked long hours and was always exhausted on work days. I was always getting up early they told I was getting a raise and my hours cut and I didn't see it happen. I got hurt on the job and they didn't care on how my health they was more worried about the assignment

This was a good company when I bought my route ten years ago. They were bought out by flowers and forced new pay models on owners. This company is a disgrace. A shadow of there former greatness. They should be ashamed with what they did to there owners. 

Pros
-Good Money
-Flexible
-Start Early and Finish Early
-Fast Paced
-Learn about being a vendor and distribution along with product management

Cons:
-Most money is made during the summer, meaning long hours and working 6 days a week during most peoples vacation time.
-Physically demanding
-Owning a Tastykake route requires a large investment

Racist and shows unfair favoritism. Corporate managers are detached from the workers and are unreasonable and unfair. They do not appreciate hard workers. It is a terrible place to work . I worked there for several years and decided it was too toxic of a workplace. My health was more important than the pay. 

I loved working at Tastykake Baking Company. I worked in The Pie department on line work. The hours were overnight and had opportunity to work overtime when available. The pay rate was excellent!! The management were fair and hardworking people.

You will work hard every day. Staff are great when problems come up. When you have a family member who is sick and you need time off. I was there over 20 years. From the move at Huntington park to the navy yard.  Management was great.
