Panera Baker

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The work at Panera was extremely simple and consistent. I also worked in a small store, so I was often working alone and the independence of that was great.

Cons

Because it was all so simplified, a lot of the work was very repetitive. I was also baking for the following day, so I had very weird, late hours. There were also multiple bakers on the payroll and not many needed each night so we were left with limited hours.

Some of the co-workers are extremely disrespectful. Check who works there before starting
