ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHOCOLATE FACTORY Employer Reviews

8 hr paid job,
good camaraderie among management and co employees,

Working at RMCF started in 2007 for me, as a part time student job. Throughout the years I advanced to opening and closing, full prep work responsibilities, managerial duties, staffing, payroll, yearend. and by the time I was done, I knew how to make everything in the store without assistance, I could do inventory and stock orders, I had full customer – more... responsibility and managerial responsibilities over the staffing and promotional venues. – less

I enjoyed my job in overall , friendly, making chocolate all the time, love the smell:)

While there was a lot of catty behaviour and in-fighting when I was here, it seems to have smoothed out somewhat. There are frequent unsellable cast-offs from production which staff get to take home, very nice perk! Staff discount on all product.
Big emphasis on rotating product correctly, keeping busy and big push for customer service.
Amazing experiences – more... with customers, important to keep allergies in mind when working here.
Do not apply if allergic to nuts, the store uses them in almost everything and you will get ill from airborne nut dust (they are kept above the apple displays.) – less

Rocky Mountain was a good working experience. There was often pressure on the weekends, when most people wanted to obtain sweets, and, although challenging, it was the most fun I had at work.
The bad days where those that had few customers. Yet stocking the product wasn't all that bad. It was nice to see the store stocked and ready to be attacked by – more... the weekend masses.
There were many times that the other co-workers waited for the last moment to do things, which sometimes made it incredibly frustrating, as I had no manager power.
One of the worst things about the job is that I felt replaceable, as if the main boss had no personal interes in my well being. My mother, who also worked there, was often sick, and the bosses just care about who would replace her, instead of asking her how she felt. – less

I enjoyed my time with this company and learned many a things. This job allowed me to hone my management skills. I learned every and all aspects of management here from opening and closing to scheduling and all banking standards. The store manager was a great guy to work for. He was caring and kind. He always listened to everything we ever had to say – more... and often used our ideas to help build the stores sales. – less

I hated working there. I would never buy anything from there, unless i was the one who made it. None of the employees didnt wash their hands before handling food.

I was an assistant at a franchised chocolate store, it was a very nice job, laid back atmosphere and great co-workers, the pay was pretty good and it offered new experiences daily.

Good place to work for a first job. Most of the staff is easy to get along with. The manager is great and works around school hours as well as second job hours.

I loved working there. I made the candy apples that needed to be made. Came up with other ideas and was creative with the ideas. My boss was soooo awesome.

Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory was a unique place to work for. I learned how to make tasty sweets using chocolate,caramel and ice cream. I learn to work as a team and work independantly. The hardest part of my job was not knowing what time I would get off because you never knew if and when the store might get busy. My coworkers were nice and the management – more... limited my need for advancement because this was a family owned franchise – less

This job brought me into the sales representative part of my career. I never truly lived until I got this job. I loved helping the customers and hatting with them as they came and went. I would say, overall, I loved this job, but am not willing to do customer service again for I have gotten comfortable in the Office Administrative part of my career.

You get to work and fill the chocolate cases your whole shift while assisting customers. Sometimes you would have to make candy during your shift or bag items.
I learned how to dip apples and make rice crispy treats.
They don't have a "manager" so the boss just yells at you for everything.
The co-workers are great!

I loved my job at the chocolate factory--from the product we made, to the people I worked with, as well as the people we served. The smell of chocolate, cookies and delicious caramel apples doesn't get tiring either. From preparing the confections, to stocking and taking inventory, there was never a dull moment. Although management was at times, unavailable – more... because of other work (which has since changed) and product displays going empty, we still did very well. This was a great shop to work for. I miss going there! – less

This job was fun at times but also a little stressful due to poor lack of management.

I really enjoyed working at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory for many reasons. My boss was an enthusiastic person that motivated us with incentives such as bonuses to do our very best at work. The work environment was friendly, happy place I enjoyed going to. My fellow employees became my second family who I still keep in touch with today.The hardest – more... part of my job was working during the holiday season because of the heavy level of customers and products to produce, but I think the stress made me work more productively. The most enjoyable part of my job was helping customers while working with some of the best people I have ever met. I enjoy working with other people and it made me realize that my future career has to involve working with people. I couldn't have asked for a better first job. It was one of the best experiences of my life. – less

When I would go to work I would start selling chocolate. As the day went on I would make some of our in-store products.

Great Place to work. Fun exciting atmosphere. With great People

retail atmosphere the deals with the selling of chocolate. good place to work if you are in school looking for a part time job for extra money

I worked for RMCF for 7 years as the Company trainer and traveled to many states across the country to help and teach new owners and new managers how to cook and create a positive fun chocolate store. My day started with checking what or where I needed to be. I learned what makes chocolate good to great and exceeded this into a training regiment. I – more... ordered and kept inventory and aswell as worked with payroll and ran the store as an owner would. Corporate Mngt was very good and great to work with. But to my dismay they sold my store and took away the training job as the new owners were franchised . The hardest part of my job was trying to teach someone who didn't want to learn. This included the new owners and my new bosses in California. The most enjoyable part of my job was always keeping the customers happy and getting them to try new items in the chocolate world. To this day, My best job so far. – less
