      Pros

      Free Panda express sometimes and even then, the food is horrible. Would not recommend

      Cons

      Long work hours (12 hours) 2 Chefs (sometimes 1) and one worker + manager (not enough employees) Low wages Verbal abuse from customers They want us to embody the Panda vision but don't want to pay us enough to envision or have energy to envision the "Panda way" Andrew and Peggy should not be making millions while their employees are constantly fighting to even survive.

      Pros

      Good pay , can make 100k a year ! Good benefits and training . Owner Andrew and Peggy model the way of being generous and humble .

      Cons

      Make you work like a Robot . 12-13hrs work everyday . Even on your off days or VL they can bother you if they need you. Zero support from direct supervisor specially shortage of staff they will not help you . They will even blame you when people leave . Upper management when you speak up will curse you , so better just shut your mouth ! Company in totality is a great company only those people who work on it makes it’s bad due to lack not taking care of their people but focus more on delivering results no matter what it takes for their people .
