I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Hurst, TX) in Feb 2011
Interview
Had two interviews. The first manager thought i was awful, the second thought i was great. The second manager hired me. There were Lots of standard, easy questions. The manager tried to keep a relaxed atmosphere by slouching in his chair, there is no need to wear formal business clothes. I even waited an hour after arriving 15 min. early for the interview, just for the manager to finally come over and interview me.
