Pros

Good pay Medical care Discounts at theme parks Free food during breaks

Cons

If you decide to work at Panda, there goes your life. It's a very demanding job, but it had potential to be a wonderful place to work. Constant disrespect from my former manager, and working with some employees that did not seem they wanted to work, which created more work for everyone else. The job is more mental than anything else, so it's not how well you do your job, it's how much nonsense you're willing to take. Prepare to be taken advantage of by your manager if you do your job well. He or she may abuse you by giving you ridiculous hours.
