Stores are constantly understaffed but the heavy work load is still expected to be done at a high standard, even if it means you have to stay behind and sacrifice your own time to keep up. A workload for about 6ish people is shared between 2 - 4 people and it is very exhausting. 
Managers are never on shift to help and when they are they act like they're doing you a favour by coming in instead of taking care of their own business. Managers will also constantly complain about work not being done properly during stressful shifts instead of coming into the store and helping.
The company expects you to make difficult designs such as number cakes with no stencils or tutorials and then the cake looks awful but you have no choice but to give it to the customer who obviously gets upset. 
Customers often think they're at a fast food place and don't understand that cakes take time to make so you will have to deal with demanding people all the time. They also never read the terms and conditions so they're surprised when you don't give them everything they want. 
You only get a 20% in-store discount and that's it for the benefits. 
Sometimes you will have to sacrifice your break time to complete work. Managers are lazy and expect you to work whenever they say instead of giving you a monthly rota. 


What is the best part of working at the company?
There is no best part. 9 hour days with no breaks. No holidays due to lack of staff. Expected to do management duties even though your not a manager.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No breaks and no proper time off.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible. Always left on youre own. Can't even go to the toilet if you're stuck serving.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Very slow  and very boring. Not enough customers.

It was a fun filled, jam packed experience and sometimes challenging but worth it when the team worked well together. On some days you were a man down and felt the whole world on your shoulders but it made you understand you can do more when your push yourself to do so. There was some confusion between orders and so blame was being thrown about and no one really owned up or took responsibility. So the team fell apart and I didn't feel appreciated anymore.

The worst place I have ever worked for.

Wasn’t trained properly and got moaned at constantly because of it, made to feel belittled because of getting things wrong.
Made to do a thousand things while the rest of staff do one thing and get moaned at. 
The staff were not friendly at all would talk behind others backs.
Boring, had to fold boxes most of the time or do things over and over because it wasn’t busy like ever, so cleaning things over and over even when it was clean already

My job role was as a front of house sale assistant but I also had to go to work at the Back of house helping the BOH staff for decorations and putting messages and pictures on the cake, which shifted the work load of the front all on myself sometimes. The job was fine but the environment and management there was very hectic and stressful.

Was not trained properly and then constantly getting told off because of it. Management were not helpful or friendly and it really just wasn’t worth it. They introduced a whole list of things we had to do at the kiosk 6 months into working there that I hadn’t been told about during training, and getting paid £4.55 an hour just wasn’t worth it.

I really enjoyed working at cake box, dealing with the cousterms and helping them was a joy. I loved the work i did and everything about it. The staff and management where wounderfull. The only down side was pay, eventhough i was only 16 when i worked there i needed to consider the future. 
Over all i enjoyed working there.

I was nice to learn new skills but the owner never was supportive. People keep coming and going due to the terms of the work. No weekends off, never. 
We work always under pressure, something even with short staff, which means more work for the us. 
No bonus, no chance to grow

The management team were so unorganised. They would show up late to open the store and employees would be waiting up to half an hour outside. Management were not equipped to handle the stressful nature and fast-paced environment therefore, the staff were also unequipped. 

Overall is hood 
But no any staff benefits less pay
On weekends especially keep more staff as we can serve the customers more in quick time 
Need to improve the management 
Understand the staff and listen to them as well 
Please pay them fairly and give wages early
