Pros

The pay is great. The hours can be good. You get free food. There are also really good benefits. Lots of promotional opportunities.

Cons

The management isn't the best. The team work just isn't there. You work hours straight sometimes with no break because there's not enough help in the store for you to be able to go on a break. Managers chose favorites and sadly, if you're not a favorite, you'll get no hours, no bonuses, and bad 6 month pay raises. I've worked at panda for almost a year now and my store has already had 6 different managers. This also makes the job more difficult because no one is really on the same page which causes fights between coworkers and just a bunch of drama. I like the job part and the customers are nice for the most part. It's the inside "help" that is a problem. They down the good hard workers and praise/promote the terrible ones. I wouldn't recommend this job to anyone
