With over 35 years of experience in kettle cooking bagels, the company has built a strong reputation for delivering tradition and flavor that customers can truly savor. Bruegger's Bagels operates as a bakery and café chain that places a strong emphasis not only on delivering delicious products but also on maintaining a healthy work-life balance for its team members. The unique aspect of working at Bruegger's is the store hours cutoff at 2 PM, allowing employees to enjoy their evenings and important life moments with family and friends, such as dance recitals or concerts, without the stress of evening shifts. This commitment makes Bruegger's a desirable employer for many who value both professional growth and personal time.

The position available is for a Baker, a central figure in the brand’s daily operations and the heart of the bakery's success. Bakers are the first to arrive at the bakery, often starting as early as 3 AM, and they are responsible for crafting the quality bagels that define Bruegger's offerings. This role requires not only skill in baking but also dedication and teamwork. Each day, bakers prepare and stock the bagel wall and pastry case to ensure a quality product is consistently available for customers. They also contribute to guest service by assisting with order taking and sandwich making, helping maintain the overall store environment with a focus on quality, safety, and cleanliness. Working as a baker at Bruegger's means being part of a team that takes pride in their work and is passionate about serving excellent food and beverages.

This opportunity comes with competitive pay ranging from $11.67 to $18.67 per hour depending on local and state regulations, plus cash and credit card tips, making it a financially rewarding position. In addition to monetary benefits, employees enjoy paid time off, free access to the Employee Assistance Program, which offers therapy, financial advising, and legal advice, as well as the Learn To Live program providing free online life coaching and webinars to help manage stress and anxiety. Bruegger’s also supports employees’ future with a 401K retirement plan including company match.

Moreover, the company fosters a health-conscious and inclusive culture by accommodating physical demands through reasonable accommodations and promoting equal employment opportunities regardless of race, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, age, or other protected categories. Bakers who thrive in fast-paced environments, can multitask effectively, and are flexible with working hours—and who are looking for a supportive environment that values personal life and career growth—will find Bruegger's an excellent place to grow and flourish.
