As an associate, you get a plate with a side (Rice, Veggies, or Chow Mein) and two Entrees (one of which can be a Premium Entree).

Food is alright, however, they only give you 10 minutes to eat unless you work a very long shift, over 8 hours I believe.

Panda Express

Thank you for your feedback. You will have a 10 minutes rest break for every 4 hours shift and a 30 minutes break for a 6 hours shit. Please discuss with your manager if your shift is less than 6 hours and would like to have a meal break.

Former

Knoxville, Tennessee

Management at my store would allow us to get a small sample of some of the food already out. Also, with meal breaks you could get as much as you want.

It's honestly the only good thing there.
