Not much of an advantage? Any leftover croissants can be taken home and eaten to your heart’s content.
1. The schedule is frequently changed: shifts may be canceled, or you may suddenly be required to work. If you’re looking for a part-time job, I advise you not to come here. (Some of the people who arrange the schedule are quite self-serving and also have to accommodate the moods of the full-time employees.)
2. The hygiene conditions are unbearable. There is no kitchen, so you have to borrow one from other people, and in the end you even have to wash the baking trays in the men’s restroom. (Women have to go there too. Being in the men’s restroom is extremely uncomfortable, and you may even be recorded. If they ask you to go wash them alone in the basement, simply refuse, because it is very dangerous; having two people is safer.)
3. Operations are all conducted as pop-up events, and sales targets are pushed every day. (Who is going to keep buying such expensive flour-based products?) The pop-up operating dates may be changed at any time, making things very unstable. If you can get out, get out quickly—understand?
4. Break times are monitored very strictly. Changing clothes has to be done during your break, and you can barely even go to the restroom, so you’d better have a strong bladder.
5. Management focuses heavily on appearances. You have to pretend to be busy even when there is nothing to do. Even when there are plenty of people, they assign only one person to handle the bread and do not let anyone else help, creating the illusion of a queue.
