Hard Work but Worth It
Production Operator (Former Employee), Carlisle, PA – June 12, 2013
Must be able to stand for a prolonged period of time and also be able to lift heavy bags of ingredients. The pay makes it worth it though.

Striving Company with benefits
Payroll Labor Specialist (Former Employee), Hanover Twp, PA – June 3, 2013
Pros: i loved my particular job
Cons: very large company too much work and not enough help
After 19 years, it was like home. I moved from NY to PA with my job as I loved it so much.

The company needs to review the amount of people needed to handle the workload. Other than that, it is a great place to work.

busy workplave and great people to work with.
bakers helper (Former Employee), williamsport , pa – May 10, 2013
Pros: free gatorade during the summer
Cons: the temperature during the summer
A typical day of work at stroehmanns was shipping product to different locations. As the bread would get bagged then sent down the line to ship out we would have to figure out where they should go first because certain trucks would leave earlier then others. If there were certain trucks to receive a special delivery management would have a talk with – more... all of us to see how we could get it out on time or simply leave us directions to follow. Hardest part of the job would be when the line went down and you had to try to fix it as soon as possible so you do not mess up production while making sure your product was still coming out correctly. Favorite part of the job would be the fact of problem solving with the left over product. – less

I loved the job and coworkers
Sales Clerk/Cashier (Former Employee), Murrieta, CA – May 3, 2013
Pros: 50% discount on product, great co-workers and customers, good pay and benefits.
Cons: when they closed the store it was just "bye-bye", no notice.
A day consisted of stocking shelves, waiting on customers. I learned great customer service skills, how to deal with people. Our store manager was always fair with hours and praised a good job. My co-workers were a great part of my job. most were team players. The Hardest part of the job was the constant bending and lifting. The most enjoyable part – more... was the customer interaction. Many would shop there just to come see me. – less

I would go to various stores around the Metro area stocking and organizing company merchandise. I learned about their color codes and the timing of bread deliveries to different stores. Management was well organized and gave clear instructions during training.

Stay Away!!
Territory Sales Manager (Current Employee), PA – February 15, 2013
Pros: work with good people, paycheck
Cons: upper management gives you less to do more, no work life balance
24/7 365. No work life balance. Split Schedule. Cover routes when RSR calls off with less than 2 hours sleep to work a 12-14 hour day on top of your own responsibilities. Upper Management only wants results. Have no clue that you get results when you have a balance. Firmly believe every hour of every week is about selling bread. People have been skipped – more... paychecks and takes weeks to compensate. Store Managers are rude and obnoxious most of time. You are a human punching bag. – less
