Panda Express reviews

Highly political company culture, NO work life balance above store manager position, some corrupted ACOs, gossip and back stubbing among store managers, people hating the job and only surviving (getting by) everyday because they think there is no equivalent jobs out there, "nearly" mandatory self improvement classes at your own expenses and time, superficial slogans, etc

They hold everyone accountable for everything. Upper managements get so pissed off if they see a piece of rice on the steamtable/floor, a small piece trash on the parking lot, grease stain on the dumpster area during visit, a piece of gum on the driveway, a black spot on the kitchen flooe & etc. They are so crazy about the store cleanliness when the restaurant is using a lot of oil & grease on daily basis. They always compare Panda to other fast food when panda only pay about 5-7 people working during rushes, McDonald's pay 20 people working per shift that's why McD can serve people in 30 seconds and Panda serve people in 5 minutes. High turnover because it pays good but work like a dog that you feel like you get paid less than minimum wages, so people leave after a couple months and work somewhere else. As a TL, you work like an ACO but does not get paid more than GM, and your ACO ask you to do his/her work assignments, and help him/her reply his/her boss email when you dont know when you will get promoted to ACO and you are doing all those extra work and run a store.
