      Pros

      I worked at Panda Express as a high school student, and had an overall positive experience while there. The co-workers I worked with at the time were all pretty laid-back and friendly - making for a good working environment (although each store has a different culture). Management also tended to be flexible about schedules, and understood the limitations of being a high school student.

      Cons

      Besides helping customers, there's quite a bit of other menial work involved (especially starting off). Be prepared to sweep, mop, clean the store at closing, clean the restrooms, etc. Dealing with rude customers is also never fun. However, it's not bad if you're not afraid of a little hard work.

      Pros

      Always room to move up in the company. Upper management are always wanting feedback from cashier and up the chain. lovely people, like a family.

      Cons

      If your a general manager you are asked for very strict numbers. I usually spent 55-60 hours per week there. With a family its very difficult to balance. It is easier to move up in the company if your Asian, not impossible, I did it but you have to work twice as hard.

      Pros

      It might have been the specific store I was working at, but the atmosphere was very fun and inviting. We might have been the only store that ever greeted customers when they walked in (think Moe's)

      Cons

      If I had to complain about anything. It would be the fact that I smelled like the store whenever I got back from work. But that's not much of a con LOL
