Pros

Discounted sandwiches. Few hours, but more if you want them as they are always trying to fill shifts. Free apron and hat. Discounts for family members on Panera food and drinks.

Cons

Disorganized and messy. No sympathy for work/life balance, short working hours are very hard near hot machines. The people who work there are morons and can't get work anywhere else. The food is not very good, when you actually try it.
