Pros

there are no PROS, none

Cons

My last 2 paychecks were stolen from the Manager's office at this location and cashed. This was near the end of 2018 and I reported it to owner of this Panera location (Cavelli Enterprises). After numerous phone calls and emails to Cavelli Enterprises, they sent me copies of cashed checks and I submitted an affadavit stating that it was not my signature on the checks. I still have not been paid by Panera (Cavelli). Cavelli Enterprises employees are rude, dismissive when I call (stating that affadavit has been sent to bank) and have never once voiced any concern that I have not been paid what they owe me. Bank tells me they will only speak with Panera. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PANERA . Management is unprofessional, some staff work a little, some don't. I started work at 8:00 am, got a break around 9-9:30am and then worked on my feet, non stop until 4:00pm. You would think that with all the Asst. Managers they have, this place would be top of the line. There is no one in charge or interested in the overall location. If you do go in, go in first thing in the morning and you will see that night shift has not cleaned bathrooms or much else.

Pros

GM at this location is very on top of things, because it's the busiest Panera in Queens. Consistent hours. Shifts go by very quickly, especially in the morning.

Cons

Location is extremely busy so it gets very stressful, especially in the morning when someone is out / there is no second cashier scheduled so the single cashier in the morning has to clean the coffee counter, refill coffees, make drinks, stick bagels in the oven & serve those bagels, check and bag up RPU/delivery orders, get bakery items for barista screen, and ring up customers. It can get really intense when many people come in, which is most of the time. You will be running back and forth like crazy. Customers can be impatient, rude, demeaning, and nasty when the line gets too long. Not recommended for people who are sensitive, with high anxiety. As for Panera the company, this chain keeps making bizarre and difficult changes to the menu, all of which make employees' lives harder and harder. With every change comes strange, dismaying, and borderline impossible expectations for frontline staff that cascade down through management who cannot do much to alter the hard policies. You can tell the company is struggling greatly to keep itself relevant with the younger crowd (a solid 80% of customers are old people). The CEO and everyone making company decisions at Panera is extremely out-of-touch. EXTREMELY. With every nonsensical menu & operations adjustment, you can tell these people haven't actually worked at a food service job in like 40 years.
