As a Pastry Cook & Donut Decorator, you'll be hands-on in every stage of the donut process — mixing dough, frying, glazing, and decorating — ensuring every product that goes out is as beautiful as it is delicious.

What We're Looking For:
- Strong attention to detail and ability to multitask.
- Team player with a positive, curious attitude.
- Reliable, punctual, and flexible — early mornings (as early as 2:30 AM), weekends, and holidays.
- Reliable transportation.
- Comfortable on your feet for long shifts and able to lift up to 50 lbs.
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
What We Offer:
- Competitive weekly pay + tips.
- Health, dental & vision benefits (full-time).
- 401(k) with company match.
- 6 weeks paid parental leave.
- Matching HSA & company-paid life insurance.
- Pet insurance & Employee Assistance Program.
- 40% off all orders + friends & family discount.
- PTO, anniversary program & schedule flexibility.

If you take pride in your work and want to be part of a team that's redefining the donut experience, we'd love to hear from you!
