No life balance

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Free food and good benefits

Cons

No work life balance at all. I always get a call from ACO, GM and associates even if it was my day off. Sometimes you have to come to work on your day off. Upper management only care about the number more than anything else.

Pros

Free Panda express sometimes and even then, the food is horrible. Would not recommend

Cons

Long work hours (12 hours) 2 Chefs (sometimes 1) and one worker + manager (not enough employees) Low wages Verbal abuse from customers They want us to embody the Panda vision but don't want to pay us enough to envision or have energy to envision the "Panda way" Andrew and Peggy should not be making millions while their employees are constantly fighting to even survive.
