Applied online, and was interviewed on the phone by Panda recruiter. She was friendly & excited about Panda, which is a good sign of a company. I was scheduled to meet with the Area Coach of Operations (ACO) in one of the Panda stores a few days later. The following week I had an interview with the Regional Coach of Operations. About a week later, an invitation for a Panda Preview at one of the Panda stores. The Panda Preview lasted about four hours, where I was shown the very basics of the store operations. In the end of the preview, there was a feedback/comment session with ACO/Training Leader and the manager of the store. A background check procedure was conducted (4 days), before I was offered the job. Communications are conducted through e-mails and text messages.

I was reached out to over Indeed to interview over Zoom. I then had a 30 minute king interview with a recruiter who’s been with the company 19 years. She was a great interviewer. She asked me to describe my coworkers and then asked me what I’m doing to improve them. Her interview tactic is basically for the applicant to dig themself in a hole and then have a satisfactory response to dig themselves out. It was a good interview but my current role has the title “leader” instead of Manager and she says “so you’re not even a Manager?”....
