Pros

a great company that does the right thing even when they don't have to. An example is the Panera cares cafe in Downtown Boston.

Cons

Panera is growing too fast and has a couple of really poor district managers who are overwhelmed, which leads to understaffed cafes and understaffed management teams. Opening new cafes dates continue to be pushed back again and again due to no staff and poor dm guidance.

Pros

Nice co-workers and managers. The environment is always nice and if you work on cash you get to hear how much the customers love the food and it kinda brightens up your day.

Cons

Alittle mis-communication with head office sometimes (scheduling)
