Baker

Bruegger's Bagels is a well-established brand renowned for its commitment to quality and tradition. With over 35 years of experience in kettle cooking their bagels, Bruegger's offers a genuine New York-style bagel experience paired with real, made-in-Vermont cream cheese. The company is dedicated to providing an exceptional food experience while maintaining a strong focus on work-life balance for its employees. Unlike many businesses in the foodservice industry, Bruegger's stores close at 2 PM, ensuring team members do not miss important life events such as dance recitals or concerts. This supportive environment contributes to a positive workplace culture where employees can thrive both professionally and personally.

This job opportunity is for the position of Baker at Bruegger's Bagels. Bakers play a crucial role in crafting the core product of the brand – the bagel. Bakers arrive early, often as early as 3 AM, and begin their shift by preparing the bagels that make Bruegger's famous. This role involves more than baking; it also includes stocking the bagel wall and pastry case to ensure the availability of fresh products throughout the day. Bakers are integral members of the team, contributing to excellent guest service by assisting with order taking and sandwich making when necessary. The company prides itself on the quality of the food and beverages it serves, and Bakers uphold this standard while maintaining a safe and clean store environment.

Working as a Baker at Bruegger's offers several unique benefits, including the guarantee of no evening or night shifts since the stores close early. The pay is competitive, starting from $11.67 to $18.67 per hour depending on local and state regulations, with eligibility for tips. Additional benefits include paid time off, access to an Employee Assistance Program that offers free therapy, financial advising, and legal advice, as well as access to Learn To Live, an online life coaching platform focused on managing stress and anxiety. Bruegger's also offers a 401K plan with company match, encouraging long-term financial wellness for its employees. Physical demands include sitting, standing, bending, lifting, and moving intermittently during work hours, and reasonable accommodations can be made as needed. The company embraces diversity and equal opportunity, making hiring decisions based solely on qualifications without discrimination. Bakers must be ready to work varied hours, including early mornings and weekends, and pass applicable background checks. Overall, this position offers a fulfilling career within a supportive, tradition-focused food brand that values its team members' quality of life.
