Pros

Free food on breaks, easy training,

Cons

This company focuses so much on "values" and the "panda way" which all doesn't make very much sense to me. Simply put into words: it's Americanized Chinese fast food. Very meticulous job. Closing was horrendous. You're required to stay 2-3 hours after your shift technically ends to clean up. Even with day shifts, you're expected/required to stay usually 1 hour past your schedule which isn't very fair. Pay is good but not for the amount of labour and hard work you go through per day. Although we surpassed our daily goal many times, I was never given a "bonus" like they said. Overall, it's a good first job experience but I can't imagine myself working here long term. It's hard work, it's tedious, many of the customers are rude (especially to fast food workers) and there is A LOT of cleaning.
