    Pros

    You meet great people, and when customers tell you your food quality is great it makes your job easier and pay isnt that bad

    Cons

    I dont like how the front counter people call out food, rush hour can be very stressful. You are expected to do more than what you signed up for and there is way too many guidelines you have to follow.

    Final Official Hiring Process Shows Misrepresented Culture

    Pros

    Great work environment with people who although not the healthiest food served promote active lifestyle

    Cons

    So many needless interviews to make you official. Had been working there well over a year with no disciplinary actions given and "failed" a final interview because of cultural questions asked by CEOs

    Good People, Kooky Culture

    Pros

    Amazing and friendly co-workers who are willing to help and easy to get along with. Also get discounts on Panda food and free meals from time to time. Stores are kept clean and safe.

    Cons

    Upper management is brainwashed by self-help programs like Tony Robbins and Landmark Worldwide. Be prepared to attend these seminars and either be all-in on them or be able to fake it if you want to move up in the company.
