With over 35 years of tradition behind its kettle cooking methods, Bruegger's offers a unique and flavorful bagel experience that resonates with loyal customers across multiple locations. The company prides itself on maintaining a strong work-life balance for its dedicated team members by ensuring stores close at 2 PM, giving employees the flexibility to fully engage in their personal lives and important moments, such as dance recitals and concerts. This culture of respect and balance helps create a positive work environment where employees feel valued and motivated.

The role of Baker at Bruegger's Bagels is both foundational and vital, as the quality of the bagels directly reflects the skill and passion of the person baking them. Bakers are the first to arrive in the bakery, as early as 3 AM, to prepare and kettle cook the bagels that define the brand. This position requires an individual who takes pride in their craft and enjoys working in a fast-paced, team-driven atmosphere. Bakers are responsible not only for the preparation of products but also for stocking the bagel wall and pastry cases to ensure fresh offerings are available for each shift. Alongside baking, the Bakers also assist with customer service duties such as order taking and sandwich making, contributing to a well-rounded customer experience. Maintaining a clean and safe store environment is of utmost importance, emphasizing the company’s commitment to quality and safety.

Working as a Baker at Bruegger's means joining a team that values growth, community, and genuine passion for great food. Employees benefit from competitive pay, including cash and credit card tips, and appreciate the perk of no night or evening shifts, with work hours ending by 3 PM. Bruegger's also supports its team with generous paid time off, a 401(k) with company match, and an Employee Assistance Program offering free therapy, financial advising, and legal advice. Additional wellness support is provided through the Learn To Live program, which offers free online life coaching and webinars to help manage stress and anxiety. Physical requirements such as sitting, standing, bending, lifting, and moving intermittently throughout the shift may be accommodated with reasonable adjustments.
