What do you want to do at Great Harvest Bread Company?

We have two main types of jobs:

BAKER (they make our products) and CUSTOMER SERVICE (they sell them Job experience in any one area, while helpful, is not required. More important to us at Great Harvest Lansing is an enthusiasm for our products and an excitement to help our customers. It is important to realize that we function as a team, and although you may have one title, we prefer to cross-train employees so you can jump in and help wherever needed. There are a few things that are expected of each and every employee: Greeting Customers Cleaning! Moving Fast! Positive Attitude Integrity

Sponge and Dough Production - Baking phenomenal bread is what our business is all about. Can you get up early (3:30 a.m; do easy math calculations before dawn, follow directions, stay focused and work quickly and efficiently?

Are you deadline and detail oriented? Bread making combines art and science, and you must be able to master both. Not for the faint-hearted, but oh-so-rewarding!

 

Goody Production- Our goodies production people love to bake, and take pride in their scones, muffins, cinnamon rolls and cookies. Can you hit the ground running at 4:00 a.m.? Work quickly and efficiently, multi-task, clean up after yourself, and plan ahead? Then consider putting a smile on our customers' faces by baking our phenomenal goodies. Bread kneading - When dough hits the kneading table (approximately 7:00 a.m, you go to work. You have to work quickly and efficiently.

 

Kneading dough is an art, more than a science, and is critical to baking phenomenal bread. We'll teach you what you "knead" to know, but you have to show you are willing to learn and settle for nothing less than near perfection. Proofing and Oven Operation - It sounds simple: you wait until the bread rises, get it into the oven, and take it out when it's done. Ah, but when you're operating a 40-pan oven, juggling five or six types of breads, not so simple. Are you up for the challenge? This position may also involve kneading and production preparation. This position usually starts at 7:00 a.m.
