Pros

good food, on the house while you're working/on break, fun, upbeat people to work with

Cons

long hours, minimum staff since scheduling is so tight, a lot of duties, strict training, ability to work under pressure and pass qualifying tests to be a General Manager

Pros

Not a difficult job. Basic skills needed. While on the job you get to eat for free. Plenty of breaks, depending how long one works in a day (eg: all day= two 10 minute breaks and 1-hour break in the middle of the shift). Definitely not boring. Able to relocate if necessary. If store goes over expected sales, we get bonuses. Really good health insurance, includes dental.

Cons

The occasional bad customers, but can't get really away from those.

Pros

-I love that this business is huge on people development. They really care about their employees and want to see them get promoted and work with everyone to help them grow and reach their full potential. -I learned a great amount of social skills with this job and customer service, before this job I was so shy! This job really helped me to gain self confidence and I am really grateful for that -You will feel a part of a family working at a Panda and everyone is generally genuine nice good people which is really good. It's nice to be supported by a work group and feel valued and have people care about you -If you are a hard worker and like variety, there is a lot to do at Panda Express. It isn't like other fast food restaurants like Mcdonalds, you actually have to do a lot of hard work but I enjoy that because I like to stay busy when I'm on the job.

Cons

-You will never be perfect at anything, there is always room for improvement for everything you do so if you are looking for praise in a work environment, you probably won't be finding it here. Your superiors will always find something you can do differently and they will hold you accountable and responsible for any problems that may arise when you are on the clock.
