MARIPOSA MARKET

My typical day would start at 2am, but I worked in the back.
*I answer the phone and take orders.
* Bag everything that goes out front from the bakery.
*Put together catering orders for businesses and personal customer orders. 
*Help fill show cases for the cafe.
*Sometimes take deliveries.

  From working there I have learned 
*How to do catering, and make new food items I hadn't before.
*Built my confidence in talking to the public in person and on the phone.
*How to use my time wisely; to get the most amount done in the least amount of time, with quality of work still in mind.

  The management all the way up to the owners are AWESOME! They all work just as hard as everyone else in addition to their management responsibilities.

  My co-workers are obviously awesome as well. We have great people in both positions!! You can depend on someone to take a shift for you or let you go early if you need it. We all try to help each other out with the work load to get it all done. It's a great atmosphere to be around. Lots of humor and joking around, while still getting the work done. Great place to work! 

  The hardest part of the job is getting up early and not always being able to plan for things because you're not sure when your shift will be over. 

The best part of the job is the people you get to work with every day, (co-workers and management staff) and we get to listen to the radio. Awesome. The fact that it's always busy is great also because it makes the time go by much faster. There's always something to do.

When I was an employee, I found I was run off my feet. I worked in the back packaging.   It’s a very busy place and was busy from time I arrived to time I left. Soooo hard to bring stuff out to shelves while the place was packed.  Major destruction could occur and very dangerous for employees and customers in carrying everything out on big trays.  Should all be done at night and extras loaded under tables instead of carrying during hours of business.  Pay could be better based on how busy and stressful it can be.  Management could use some management skills to properly identify issues and resolve better.

What is the best part of working at the company?
family owned for over 30 years attention to detail in every aspect of the products. Great place to work.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
the most stressful part of about working at Mariposa where the working hours you’re scheduled for eight hour shift, but you usually are there quite a bit longer until everything’s done

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
everybody’s one big happy family

I loved working at Mariposa Market, the staff becomes family. It's a very friendly and happy environment,  not your normal cafe. They host live music, celebrate ALL of the holidays. And Christmas is the most wonderful season there! The owner and manager are dedicated, and easy going. Scheduling was never a problem, your schedule is put up a month a head of time. I would recommend Mariposa Market to anyone who is customer orientated and enjoys a fast paced place.

There is no communication between employees and management. It is all he said, she said. Also no rotation of weekends or shifts. Since you are there for long hours you develop really good friendships, which is really nice.

Long hours especially holidays
The other employees are friendly
Not much room for advancement
You need to be able to work quickly and efficiently
The length of your work day depends on how fast you finish your tasks.

Mariposa market has treated me very well for the past two years! My boss was always very kind as well as management. The food is excellent and is very easy to prepare for the customers.  I really enjoyed working there!

It is a great company to work for when you see the owner busing tables and helping out you know you are working for good people.

Only thing really no room to grow with the company.

I would clean up and make sure everything is in tip top shape, I would clean all the dishes, answer all the questions the customers asked, also anything my managers/ supervisors would ask i'd do to my fullest.

Great place to work and make more than minimum wage. There are not very many jobs in the area that pay that well and require zero experience. It is a very busy place, and there are a lot of hours if wanted.
