I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Johnstown, PA) in Aug 2015
Interview
This was an extremely easy interview and hiring process for me. I was hired on the spot, and the interview took less than twenty minutes. I was requested to start my shifts later in the week. My brother was already working at the location, so I did have a relatively faster time getting the job. However, I am quite certain I would still have been offered the job had my brother not recommended me, as I showed the interviewing manager that I worked well with customers and could provide determined and positive effort to the company.
