I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panda Express (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2015
Interview
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 applied online, and was called for an interview the next day. Interview was over the phone and roughly 20 minutes. I was asked maybe 4 general interview questions and many personal questions about what I do to better myself. Lots of questions about seven habits of highly effective people. Not many questions about the position, they seemed more interested about my personality. Make sure you do a little read up on the mission statement.
