OP, just hit up people from the agency on LinkedIn. We can give you actual information. Is Bakery perfect? No. Does it match what most negative posts here say? Absolutely not. Personally, I love it. The hours to start this year have been insane, though. Leadership has been working to improve it and it’s starting to let up already. If you’re on accounts you would work under Jacqueline Thompson. She’s great! I like the two owners as well, but some people may not? They’re Latin American and have almost too much drive like what you’d find at David or Gut. Hector Silva is a teddy bear, though. Micky Ogando is certainly a character and a tough love type, but he takes care of his people. I certainly wouldn’t describe either as a bro! It isn’t a political environment. From Hector and Micky on down, everyone tells it like it is; for better or worse. That’s the type of place I wanted to work in when I applied and two years in I’m very happy. If you are used to big agencies with layers of bureaucracy you may find Bakery jarring at first. Again, I couldn’t be happier to work somewhere without political games and gaslighting where the work is the focus. If you decide to interview, good luck! Maybe I’ll get to welcome you in and show you around 🙂

I’ve designed and implemented many successful worldwide programs.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
