      Management Needs Fixing

      Pros

      Decent pay for part-time job Simple job once you get the hang of it

      Cons

      There's hardly a training program aside from an online module that really doesn't help you in real-time. They'll throw you into the line in the middle of a lunch rush and scold you for doing it wrong despite them not training you. Panda really needs to fix their management because the employee turnover rate is so high. I saw so many people come and go and most of them left within a week of working at Panda. If that doesn't say something about how you train your employees (they don't), then I don't know what will

      Pros

      The pay is good and benefits could be good if you are full time

      Cons

      By far , worst job ive had. My boss was rude and uptight and always dismissive. She only cared for her favorites. She will talk down to you and tell you , you arent good and are wasting her time . They wont give you hours if they dont like you , and they wont let you transfer
