Interview

An easy professional process, but the two managers asked questions on top of each other, making it difficult to answer them. They wanted the individual they were hiring to fit into the atmosphere of the work place. The main con is that once accepted the information that was presented in the interview was not passed on appropriately, such as for scheduling purposes, etc.

I was seen by the manager promptly at out agreed time. He offered me a drink then proceeded to ask very basic questions, why I want to work there, if there were any school conflicts. Very simple interview.

Application

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.

Interview Questions

Negotiation

There wasn't much of a negotiating phase. I requested Sundays off and was told I had to work them. I negotiated it down to one Sunday off a month, etc. What I would say is to keep on top of the negotiations. Write notes and if someone crosses the line, bring it up.

I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Marion, OH) in February 2011.

Interview

I filled out my application in the store and was told i would be called if they were interested. I received a call the next morning and went in the next week for an interview. I got the job on the spot and had to go back for orientation. The company now does the application process online so it may be harder to get to know the person through a computer application.
