Chocolates are a sinful indulgence, but while Kriston Dean has the nation's most delicious job, hitting sales targets is a tough nut to crack. Purdy's dominates the west, but is struggling to make an impression elsewhere. To boost sales, the Chocolate Queen travels the country, working in disguise in her own stores and factory floors. But Kriston is nearly busted by a suspicious staffer, and it's not long before she has a chocolate meltdown and brings an entire assembly line to a gooey halt. When her fake tattoo is wiped off and wig whipped away at the end of the week, she meets the people she worked with again. Her true identity is revealed, and they discover she's a boss with a soft center. Devoted worker Kathy, who juggles hectic factory floor shifts while looking after a sick husband and raising a grandson, is full of teary-eyed appreciation when Kriston decides it's time to make her life easier.[18]

Gary is the guy you want on your side if you're going to do something shifty. The way he maintained a poker face when introduced to "Devon" and then quietly let her know he knew but that he wasn't going to blow her cover was like a master class in covert operations.

This young woman was not the owner of the company and had worked there 5 years and this was her first time in shop or on factory floor. People who sit in offices making decisions that affect those on the factory or shop floor should all have at least a day induction on that side of things. Personally I prefer the episodes where it is the actual owner who founded companies going undercover and getting a reminder of what it is all about, the staff who make it all happen. It is good to see those who lost touch being humbled and brought back to reality.

@meh Didn't she say she had never been on the shop or factory floor? Of course she will have knowledge of the products etc as that is her job. It is however not the same thing that I was referring to. With regard to the owner yes I know the reason she couldn't go. I was saying I prefer the episodes with them not that this one should go.

It bothers me that someone had to be vying for that job. Like someone that's been there for years. And the company was like 'lol outside hire'. Good job purdys, can't go wrong with hiring someone that doesn't know the business. This little princess worked on a factory floor for a couple hours and was like oh no my back hurts I never knew that standing on a concrete floor and doing the same thing over and over for hours can wear on your back.

I think it’s a no brainer, that every single part of the team has at least one day working in someone else’s shoes. I was the GM at a massive hotel in Branson mo. When I first came to work there, I came in undercover as the front desk clerk. Mostly it was because of the amount of theft they were experiencing. I worked in the laundry room, cleaned toilets, scrubbed sinks. Every single area of that hotel, I covered. They were shocked when they found out I was the new boss. Lol

When Jess said (at 36:00) "She doesn't have what it takes yet, to be a Purdy's employee." I thought, 'Wait til she finds out, boy, is she going to be surprised'. Bet she cringes, even today, when she hears herself say this. I'm American, so I've never heard of Purdys. I have worked in manufacturing (retired now) for many years and have made fish sticks and hung hot dogs at two different factories. I would have been one of those dedicated workers that unknowingly blabbed away about how management could improved the workplace (in fact, I did, once. I told the factory superintendent that we needed floor fans because of the unbearable heat and a foreman in my department to dole out work. I was doing this [assigning work without extra pay to do it] because I was senior worker in that department. He asked me, "Do you know who I am ?" Told him I didn't have a clue. We had the fans within two weeks and got the foreman too, later).

The real story in all these undercover boss episodes is really showing how little the high level executives know about the company they are responsible for. Every single episode. Kmart, Sears, AOL, Xerox, Kodak, Blackberry, Nokia, Blockbuster and many others. All were leaders in the industry at one time but the stupid executives made bad decisions or failed to recognize they needed to change with technology. Now, nobody pays attention to them or they have gone bankrupt.

I lived in Worcester then my sister lived here in Birmingham so we decided to move her so mu sis could give me a bit of respite for a few hours..well God has his own bloody plan.. house up for sale in winter 2000.. in jan 2001 my brother in law collapses at home. .kidney failure..dead within a week. .he had been poorly but not told my sister. .anyway moved close to my sister then in 2002 my aunt dies..my sister is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. .my sister has full hysterectomy and chemo and comes and stays with mom and me whilst recuperating. .mom dies in 2003..my sisters cancer returns in 2004 and she too dies..its ying and yang..we're lucky to have been in that loving family environment but when they go you're at a loss. .if you don't get on like a friend of mine and don't give a toss you're not going to miss them..🇬🇧💞✝️🙏👍🐾🐾🐈

I started delivering Screen-printed Signage to Purdy's HQ in Vancouver, when they took over the Canada Dry Building on Kingsway and Earles. What a great group of people to deal with, and even if I had to wait, there was always Chocolates in the reception area to 'sample' The women in the retail were always good for a laugh, and a smile too. I can truly say I am a Purdy's lifer as well, I just went and had a feast of Truffles from their shop in Victoria, and the employees there were kind and patient, as always.

Purdy’s used to have a store in the Bellevue Mall in Bellevue, Washington, U.S.A. and anytime we went there we bought their chocolates. They are far above the quality of any “grocery store” chocolates, and were worth the high price even when we were newlyweds in the early to mid 1980s. I have often wished they hadn’t pulled out of sales in that mall. No chocolates I have EVER had are as good as Purdy’s Chocolates, in my opinion. You must taste them to know just how wonderful they are!!

I worked in a chocolate bar warehouse when I was 19. Most of the employees there were these tall cadaverous looking fellows with really paste complexions. After about an hour I knew why. The sickly sweet atmosphere was all pervasive. The air was literally laden with sugar and it stuck to everything. It came in on the cartons the bars were shipped in from the factory. At break time, the full time employees barely ate anything at all. The sugar had taken their appetites away years ago. I left at the end of the day and I literally stuck to everything I touched. I never went back. But I always wondered how those fellows made out You see, I didn't think that they were long for this world because of their job...............

@@JustMe-gs9xi I spent 2 months at the HO during the peak season 2 years ago and I can say that within that very brief period of time, I learned a lot working there. True that there are shortcomings and if they do this or that - could have been better...which I would say is true for every company out there. It's unfortunate that the top operating managers of these companies don't actually see and realize how the present staff/managers deal/treat their subordinates - some of them just don't practice fairness and favor some which affect their performance reviews/reports - management favoring other staff who are not actually out performing others. Also, when a hiring manager was asked if they do "actually" give a "full" training and not just being thrown out there at the retail and suddenly will change and decline the hiring process (for a more permanent position) is disappointing. When you start working and not enough training is given and expect you to work like the more experienced staff - that's not gonna happen until they learn it as they deal with different issues. But when one was asking to have a 'real' training, it's b/c we want to be fully armored when we're asked to face the daily struggles in the retail. A person with a high level of experience in retail can say this and the goal is to help them realize the shortcomings of NOT having a proper training before they start work. Without even giving a chance to a person who has too much passion b/c of this is very frustrating and disappointing. Because a lot of this happens in the retail business these days. It's not the person trying to get the position who loses - it's the company who doesn't recognize this who lost coz I know for a fact that it's difficult to find an employee who will give their "ALL" to the company they're working for.

In the past rising up the ladder in a company was easier. These days they usually require a university degree for the higher position

I lived in Victoria for a couple of years, and we learned that Purdy's was an excellent product. I hope it gets more of the market. I have worked long hard hours on my feet. On of the reasons that I had to go on disability. I also worked for awhile as the only clerk at a Belgian chocolate counter. I LOVED it. I loved making people happy. I WAS Jessica! Elsa is magnificent. Chocolate is FOOD!!!

Because Purdys treat their employees well I will now shop more at Purdys. Love their chocolate. Hedgehogs 😋. Thank you for sharing this video.

The dedicated factory workers, shop workers, etc. need to be attending these meetings or periodically informing why the target goal is not met. After this episode, Marketing Boss can attempt to improve work standards and supplies. If the goal isn't met, maybe it's time to lower production goals a bit, improve technology again and incrementally increase quotas so employees are not feeling like they're failing, when it's the company that is not working up to snuff. It would be interesting for the film crew to return in 3 months time to report an update in the different departments. This company should be offering post secondary scholarships to employees and dependents of employees. Purdy's needs to extend their services into the community with volunteer and charitable organizations. This action generally improves a company's reputation, especially when customers know that a portion of the proceeds go to help the homeless or children in need, etc. If a business is interested in profit over people, that value can be perceived as greedy, and the public (me) no doubt might be "put out" by selfish money grasping. Purdy's better take a closer look at how they function. They have a long ways to go in creating a caring, not feigned, image, in my opinion. I'm not trying to tell them how to run the beltline, but something does not feel right in their organization.

Well corporate boards often reflect the overall size of the company, down to their gross revenue. You can run a $200 million company with a board of four. But when it's a massive national corporation, you'll need more advisors on hand. Besides board members salaries as a whole account for a smaller cut than for the front line workforce - even if they make 10 times more per person.

The one who said she wants to go to Chicago is probably kicking herself saying, 'Man! Why didn't I say PARIS and BELGIUM and SWITZERLAND to see what they know about chocolate over there'? But she got her two dreams - to work with Gary making some new chocolate recipes and to go to Chicago. It's what she really wanted, so people complaining that she didn't get a house, a car, a cruise around the world, etc. have no grounds for their remarks. It's not 'Make a Wish' for people dying of cancer, and it's not the lottery. The rewards were something personally appropriate for the particular employee. What's wrong with that? Americans always overdo everything anyway. It's got to be HUGE and RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE. These rewards were personal and meaningful to the recipients. Good for them. It sounds like a human company, so the human touch when it comes to a 'prize' makes perfect sense.

So before you judge and think that we over do it, we don’t. Our country’s employees needs are very different than what your country would be. Not to mention student loans. Those huge lumps of money or a new house is critical for survival here..

You mean like how the Swiss chocolatiers encouraged and probably still are, slavery in the Ivory Coast of Africa where most of the raw chocolate originated? And where they can see what happened to all the spoils of the genocide of world war 2? You are right, more people should go to Switzerland and Belgium, maybe they might start to open their eyes. But, those people are in no way superior or righteous in any way, to any other place in the world.
