Not the worst.

Pros

I enjoyed decorating cakes and making customers happy, and I had great coworkers!

Cons

The management, especially at the specific store I worked at, were actively a little mean to us. I was constantly pressured to work faster, and to do more work - without being promoted to full-time. I applied to be a decorator, but even after a year and a half I was still a part-time “bakery apprentice”. Also, despite being constantly short staffed, I never got consistent hours. I would work 23 one week and 45 the next- and then get spoken to about overtime. Anyway. Certainly not the worst job I’ve ever had, and I made some real friends.
