Pros

Great company, I was an assistant manager for many years, only reason I gave 3 stars. The people I worked with were great. Their benefits were AMAZING. Benefits were why I loved working there. Andrew and Peggy Cherng are great people and love this company.

Cons

Upper management does not care. I can not stress that enough. I left the company over literal verbal abuse day after day. I felt like I was no longer appreciated, and it's sad because I really loved panda. The chinese culture does not have people skills sometimes and they obviously do not care about HR and will threaten to take away jobs and hours cause you're not good enough. I worked my hardest for 5+ years and kept striving to be better but driving home crying everyday wasn't healthy for my life.

Pros

Starting pay is nice. You always get the amount of hours you ask for (or in my case, much more). There is a lot of chances to get raises and move up if you want.

Cons

Long shifts (sometimes 10 hours or more) You will need to ask around to make sure you know certain information (most managers won't tell you anything) You don't really get trained. You're expected to catch on and learn from everyone else. You will get reprimanded for your mistakes, even though you don't know what are doing necessarily.
