      Approves of CEO

      I worked at Panera Bread full-time for more than 5 years

      Pros

      Somewhat decent pay, overtime, food, discount 65%, shifts fly in time; super busy. Room for growth, mother bread surrounds us all. My cafe was big and filled with awesome coworkers. Expect lots of gossip. I was the type to listen and laugh while I work. I felt appreciated, I was top dog on the line. The food is great. The catering department was super successful at my location. I ran that department for a little over a year. I decided to demote myself to stay sane. I ended up hating the delivery aspect. The office work is easy. Calls need to be made to confirm orders before and after pickup/deliveries. Panera did evolve into a delivery system for the cafe. Those drivers now assist in catering deliveries. I appreciate my experience at Panera Bread.

      Cons

      Only two days paid for holiday (thanksgiving, Christmas) Expensive health insurance, Panera should hire assistants for catering coordinator, Panera should fire management way before 30 employee complaints.

    3. "Great way to make a little extra cash"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Former Employee - Delivery Driver in Knoxville, TN

      I worked at Panera Bread part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      My main gig was coaching soccer at night so being able to have steady delivery work during the day was great. Management left the drivers to it and we managed ourselves well. We weren't really expected to chip in with too many things but it was greatly appreciated when we did (prep, bussing, sweeping, restocking bathrooms) . Free coffee and a pretty good food discount. Some fun people working there.

      Cons

      It's obviously not great on the car but I knew what I was getting into as a delivery driver. Pay isn't fantastic, but, again, it's a delivery driver job.

      I worked at Panera Bread full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      Discounted food, decent pay to start off with, and a fun company culture with a great support system for growth if you pursue it.

      Cons

      Depending on which location you work at, managers make or break the environment, sometimes they micro-manage instead of helping out the team.

    6. "Great company to work for, always changing and the people are generally nice and pleasant"

      StarStarStarStarStar
       

      I worked at Panera Bread

      Pros

      Good pay for a fast food job, starting rate is negotiable. Good perks such as free and discounted food. Good opportunities for promotions. Job itself is easy unless you go into management.

      Cons

      Gets boring pretty quick, job is pretty simple. Customers always complain about pricing.

      If you like favoritism, doing everything in the cafe for low pay, and bad mouthing - this is the place for you.

      Former Employee - Wait Staff 

      I worked at Panera Bread part-time for more than 5 years

      I have been working at Panera Bread part-time for less than a year

      Pros

      Discounted food. Ha - Glassdoor says I must enter 5 words for Pros.

      Cons

      I met one manager and she said that the rate of pay is $10/hour. A second manager said it is $10 when you are in the cafe and $6 when you are driving. Then, a manager asked me to run to another cafe to pick up baguettes and I did. At the end of my shift, he told me the mileage would not be reimbursed, even when I used my own car. I don't recall him saying that, because if he did, I would not have ran the errand for him. It turns out that when people order from Uber Eats, drivers don't get tips, because Uber pockets the tips. BOGUS - tips are how drivers get their income. I only got 10-12 hours/week. Don't waste your time applying.
