Pros
Coworkers were great, food discount was nice
Cons
Like most food service: stressful, low pay, no benefits, crazy scheduling
Pei Wei Asian Diner Response
Sr HR Manager
Thanks for your feedback! We agree that our employees are the best! You are correct when you say food service can be stressful and scheduling can get "crazy". It has been difficult over the past year. We do offer benefits to employees that average 30 hour or more per week and we offer a Tele-Medicine benefit FREE to ALL of our employees. Pei Wei is committed to improving our environment. If it has been a while since you worked for us, maybe it's time to re-visit us as a potential employer. We are hiring at most locations!

Pros
The food, it's wonderful! Oh and some service alcohol so that's a plus
Cons
Your treated like your an incompetent idiot, talked down to, previous experience has like 0 concideration, you will be humiliated in front of co-workers and if you have any problems with anyone above you and voice your concerns, you better start looking for a new job.

Pei Wei Asian Diner Response

We agree with you when you say you will never get tired of our Menu. You should stop by and try our NEW House Special Chicken and Mongolian Green Beans inspired by Celebrity Chef, Jet Tila.
