Pros

Panda Express definitely had higher standards in terms of cleanliness and freshness making it feel more elevated than fast food so I would trust eating there. Free food during breaks! My coworkers were fun but overall is a nice temporary fast food job.

Cons

The management was terrible, most of them had power trips. You are not allowed to take tips instead you have to haggle donations for the red cross out of customers. They also send random undercover people from corporate to see if workers are slacking. It’s not fair because they will purposely stress you out to see how you handle it and then write you up if you mess up. Honestly just too much for a job that pays a few quarters over minimum wage.
