      Pros

      Coworkers were great, liked most people I worked with and the low-level managers. Pay slightly above minimum wage with occasional opportunities for raises.

      Cons

      Angry customers. Customers were always awful. Rude managers/higher ups. Every time the upper level managers would come in you could tell they only looked at you as a number. Hard work. Tons to clean and you aren't allowed to stop moving except for one ten minute break, or 30 minute break if you work longer than six hours.

      I've been with panda express for a long time. Over the course, panda has went from good to great to worst as a company.

      Pros

      Flexible, depending on your manager if they like you/not. Encourage continuous learning, but if your not going to marry panda, they will coach you out. They focus a lot on their "panda culture," if you don't find, they will coach you out.

      Cons

      Panda doesn't want to pay for your EDD, so they don't fire you. Instead they will either coach you out or make your life miserable so you can quit. Their focus on the employees went from task related to mental mind. They want to change you mentally.
