      Pros

      Fun and cooperative environment, easy to sell (and eat) product.

      Cons

      Not many perks for part time staff, pay is a little low for the living costs of the area

        Pros

        Working for BReD is a unique experience and a brilliant opportunity to develop your baking or barista skills. It’s an honor to work for the only vegan bakery which has B-corp certification in BC.

        Cons

        No significant cons of working here. We are a small team and with open communication it’s possible to solve every problem.

        Thank you for your positive review of our high standards and good communication practices. It is important that our staff share our mission, vision and values of making vegan food that everyone can enjoy. When we’re all on the same page, the work is very rewarding and morale is high. We hope to attract more conscious and ethically-minded talent like you.

          Pros

          I have learnt a lot from working with Ed and Natasha, they are extremely hard working and are committed to providing the best products and service. They are making delicious vegan food accessible for everyone and they support other sustainable local, businesses. It's a great community. Getting to know regular customers was also a highlight of this job! They offer awesome work perks and are creative with staff events!

          Cons

          I personally wouldn't see this as a con but the standards at BReD are very high and they expect hard work in return for some great perks to the job. If you are committed to supporting a small vegan business and showing up for your team then you will enjoy working to high standards and supporting them.

        I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.

        Senior Associate

        How do you interview for a position when you are under-qualified based on seniority but not based on skills? I currently serve as a senior associate for a reputable consulting firm, and I have an interview for an associate director position. However, I am just shy of the minimum YOE requirement included on the job application and relatively young (though I meet all of the other requirements). Any advice on convincing the hiring manager I am ready for a mid-level role?

        EY

        Had 4 behavioral interviews for a position last week. Last Friday (which was the last of the four interviews), the interviewer spent most of the interview selling me on the job and didn't ask me any questions. She ended the interview by saying she thinks I am confident and would be a great fit for the role. I took this as a good sign but giving it's 2023 you never truly know. Has anyone ever had an interviewer do something similar and not gotten the job?
