Bimbo Bakeries USA Employer Reviews

I work for my family business which was established in 1997. My typical work day would be in the office handling phone calls, placing orders for our route territory and assist in planning and implementing special sales and weekly ad events. I enjoying working with my co-workers because they are family and it is a relaxing and fun environment. The hardest – more...  part of the job is when we are short on orders and when our stock runs out for that day which leaves us an empty shelf and or table. – less

low pay,long hours,supervisiors suck,old run down trucks,

they try to work more hours than a person should have to work (12-14)
They try at every opportunity to reduce your pay and benefits
and have you do jobs that are not in your job description to save a few bucks. (generally it is free work they want)

Supported my family for over 5 years and plenty of work. Productivity was increasing while also down sizing.

OK WORK PLACE. GOOD BENEFITS.I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT PRODUCTION WHJLE WORKING THERE.

There always seem to be hostility between the departments, long days in the heat, little time off. Split days off make it hard to recover from overtime. Schedule changes constantly, its very difficult to make plans

It's a physical job, good job security,co-workers work hard,

worked 12-14 hr day shifts.learned how to stay up for long hours of work.

I have learned how hard people that work in a union really work. I have always depended on my mind in the past to work my way up though a company. This is the first job I have ever held that based truly on working physically hard. I go home knowing and seeing what I have accomplished. However, I feel that I am not growing intellectually.

Good company, great pay and benefits. Only down side is re bid every 6 months and no one seems to want to retire. Easy work and good people.

I go to the stores, I put the stuff on the shelves, I rotate the product and occasionally I run to the shop to get additional if the stores are running low and it's available. I put it in a company van and get back to it. Good managers in my location, and my sales Reps are for the most part, excellent to work with.

The average day for me includes unloading a truck then loading another with a set time for the trunk to pull out. Some selecting of the order may be required. Unloading requires a different way of doing things. You have to put product which is bread and/or muffins in the different depots whether it is one tray to multiple stacks and tag then scan them.
I – more...  have taken with me from my experience there that everyone benefits when fellow co-workers are competent and properly trained to do each others jobs. The workplace tends to run more efficiently. Communication between employees has been very good.
Everything on a job starts with management. Training of supervisors or upper-management is very crucial and so is the ability to pass down those skills down to employees. That has not always happened, therefore at times we have dropped the ball as a group but always bounced back.
I must say the hardest part of the job as it would be with any is when a few people tend to bring their personal problems to the job. Most people can leave them at the doorstep or not let it affect them as much because there is a job to be done.
The most enjoyable part of working at Bimbo Bakeries, formerly Arnold's, was seeing all the different products being made or coming in and out of the plant. – less

Bimbo Bakeries is the largest unknown company that you have never heard of. It's the largest bakery business in the world and has the clout to maintain and grow that status

Great work environment, great co-workers, indepent in job duties. Responsle for your own commission. Management willing to lend a helping hand.

stay away from this place manangment is a joke, but they work you to death, and you get treated as an animal

The job had very good commission, a good working environment, and also there was good client relationships.

I enjoy working at Bimbo I do not enjoy the hour long drive to work.

I liked my team leaders. They were very respectful and treated everyone fair! The work is messy and tough but worth it with the pay. We always got plenty of breaks with no time limit, which was awesome! It had a rotating 12 hour shift which some people didnt like>

The people there make you feel at home, friendly enviroment, hot days make work in the factory harder, needs a little updating lack of space for breaks.
