Pros

Panera has been a great place to work because the training has been awesome. Every employee has been trained in several areas in the store and it is helpful when everyone knows how to do more than just one task.

Cons

Sometimes the upper level management makes decisions based on numbers only and not on operations or day to day experiences.

Pros

There were some great coworkers and some nice moments, but those can be found in any other food service job.

Cons

Dirty with bugs that weren't given the time of day by HR. The general managers were intense in a way of always being in a pissy mood.
