I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Columbia, MD) in Nov 2016
Interview
Easy interview process. I applied online then received a call about 2 weeks later. We scheduled the interview the next day, had a second interview the following day, was called with an offer on the 3rd day.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread
Interview
I was referred by a previous manager I had worked for at another Panera. She and the store manager I talked to were good friends, so it wasn't hard to set an interview. The process was very simple and, possibly because of my recommendation, it was over very quickly. Both the GM and the DM were very helpful and thorough.
