Ghirardelli Chocolate Company Employer Reviews

I worked at the San Leandro plant as a temp & they didn't let us forget it. They made us park in the back, even though I worked in the front. Whenever I had to use the printer in the executive suite, I had to go up the backstairs.

I was not allowed to participate in casual Fridays or employee discounts in the factory store. I was working for one of – more... the biggest jerk in the world; he was very rude to us temps & contractors and I had to get his lunch for him too.

I was so glad when they let me go. Willy Wonka would be very sad here. – less

Terrible place to work just ridiculous! Manager is a overly friendly and lets all employees walk all over her its pathetic. Only acknowledges bad workers and gives credit to those who do terrible on secret shopper reports and to those that play like little kids. This place is infested with bugs its sad that they could even sell chocolate here! All over – more... bad company to work for I highly DO NOT reccomend to anyone! Too much drama and favortism its sad that there isnt the slightest bit of respect here. Good workers get treated like dogs while the favorites that do nothing lounge around with the so called manager. – less

This place is just all together horrible. I wouldn't work there again if they paid me salary., Too much drama and there is always a new manager. Ghirardelli is too disorganized. Not to mention there are freaking ROACHES here. This place should be closed down.

Working very hard for minimal pay with no union meaning you can be let go at anytime after you have worked very hard, alot of cleaning but good environment and people

I miss my coworkers!!.Great place to work...however not a permanent position, only available during season

I worked for this company for 5 years as a manager. They had extremely high turnover in management and we (as managers) felt that we could be terminated at any time for the smallest reason. No work/life balance here. They say people come first, but not the people who work for them. They pride themselves on delivering excellent guest service, but that – more... starts by making your staff feel important and happy. – less

This was by far one of the best jobs I'd ever had. It used almost all of my talents in the computer system, inventory control, time management areas. Our team in the warehouse knew everything and were always willing to help out. My managers were calm and dealt with everything the right way. Hardest part of the job was leaving it.

A typical work day I do some data entry or special project work. I learned how to read and create invoices and I also do some training for new hires on inventory & customer service. The management is great and friendly. I am the only from business sales (e-commerce) who works at corporate, but I still work around some of the most down to earth bunch – more... there is. – less

at work never know where would be working. High speed production equipment. Management was on there own team no team work between management and people on the floor. Co works where great. The morning was the hardest. Working with the people in the maintenance department. place was very cut throat

worked at the chocolate shop and cafe, and management at that time fired the nicest people who were working there for over 5 years.

apparently it's common for them to lay loyal workers off at a whim.

great sundaes.

Day starts off with picking product than getting it ready to ship using UPS of Fedx

Converted old documents into new templates for first two hours, relieved lobby receptionist for breaks and lunch. Greeted and provided entry passes for guests. Monitored and updated guest calendar and ordered lunches from time to time. I learned about Chocolate in general and also with time improved my Outlook skills. Not enough assignments provided – more... during an eight hour shift. The extra work that I received gave me a sense of being productive and a there was a few employees that made me fill welcome. – less

Fellow employees work hard and passionately, but sometimes lack work-life balance. New CEO has increased sales growth, and encouraged more company wide information sharing. On the job training is minimal, so it can sometimes be a trial by fire when first starting. Benefits are good, decent pay.

The company was ran well but their was allot of favortism involved.

An exceptional product, and good to sell at outlet prices. Took on full management responsibility, was not compensated accordingly, but heard the benefits and packages (401K, etc.) were very good for long-term employees. Left on good terms.
