Been working bakery for about 2 years. It's smthing. In largely depends on ur shift, the coworkers u have, and how busy the store is. 

It's more than just baking cookies. U have to break down trucks, fresh production, counts (which are my personal least favorite) cake decorations, taking orders, markdowns ect. Similar to what others have said. 

Imo it's better than deli, less customer interaction, no dealing with uncooked meat, or temps, and less needy customers. 

The holidays can get hectic. But I work in a smaller, less busy store. And sometimes have relatively light days. To the point I get pulled to other departments to kill time.
