      Pros

      I worked at Panda Express because it is fast and easy money and you get to work with awesome managers and nice employees as well

      Cons

      one downfall can be that they are beginning to cut everyone's hours so sometimes the paycheck isn't as much as you were hoping

      Despite the smoke and mirrors, it's still an exploitative fast-food job.

      Pros

      With their near-constant turnover--even in this depressed economy--it's not difficult landing a job there, But, apart from this, I am hard-presed to come up with a "best reason" for working at Panda Express!

      Cons

      The Cherngs' greatest achievement is in the area of image management. They want to project an image of the chain's being one big, happy family, with a caring. paternalistic management. The reality, however, is that it's just one more fast-food operation, with the focus on sweating the employees. Being Oriental myself, I must say that I also resent their characterization of what they sell as being "gourmet Chinese food." In all honesty, it's mass-produced, steam-table stuff, overly sweetened, and, Lord knows, overly salted. My parents would never recognize it as Chinese!
