Pros
I grew up with Bread Co having worked there 14 years. When the business first began, it was an absolute awesome, fun and respectable place to work. The employees were also treated remarkably.
Cons
Over the years Panera has turned over to the shareholders. Meaning everyone is replaceable because all they want to see is profit. Hard working, long term employees most of which I worked with have since left because of the drastic pay cuts, horrible hours and working conditions. Year after year they slowly took away benefit after benefit. We used to get paid 1.5x for holidays, some we got paid and didn't work because we were closed...you know bc it's a holiday. Most recently the last winter storm putting us in a state of emergency they demanded we keep the doors open. Anything to sell a bagel right? Even our lives. We decided to shut the doors a few hours later and we're stuck in 12inches of snow--none of which the company assisted with. Including accidents and injuries.
