I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Tukwila, WA) in Jun 2012
Interview
I was called for an interview after I had stopped by a store to check on my application. The store I had stopped by was not the store that had originally hired me. I was set up with an interview with the stores assistant manager. He was extremely nice. Then I had to do two more interviews with my final one being with the General Manager. She loved me and I began training within a week.
You get a call to interview In person with one manager and then if you pass that round you interview with the store manager might depend on store to store

What was it like working with a difficult co worker

Interview
I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
