Hard work - Cook Panda Restaurant Group Employee Review

Pros

My manager and team members were very cool and understanding, but I have heard horror stories of managers who were unreasonable. The pay was decent and I was able to schedule my work around my other responsibilities.

Cons

Very hard work, skeleton crews. Often just two people in the kitchen, who had to do everything from cooking to cleaning and even some prep. Physically very exhausting. Also, somewhat difficult to get hours. Some people work need to work 6 days just to hit 40 hours. Also, the culture can be kind of cult-y. You have to be a hardcore panda fan and talk about how it changed your life to move up. No room in management for people who want work-life balance.

Pros

I got to try refreshers for free that’s it

Cons

I was put on 5 8 hope shifts in my first week. The manager, assistant manager, and my coworker all instructed me to do different tasks every few minutes that overlapped someone else’s instructions (in which I was never properly trained to do the tasks). There was an Uber Eats order and the woman was telling me, but I wasn’t allowed to do that yet so I got the AA, he had me pack the order and left me. Turns out I forgot half the order, which I was trying to avoid in the first place and my manager got mad, and he called me slow. Everyone acts like they hate you, you’re an inconvenience. The cherry on top of it all was I was denied my meal in my meal period. I asked for it and the AA just told me to “go sit down.” horrible.
