Panda Express good and bad

General manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay is not bad. Free meal during breaks. If you have a good store you can make good bonus and your job will be easy as long as you have good people. They try to inspire their employees to learn and grow.

Cons

If you have a bad store, your job becomes very difficult and promotion becomes almost impossible. Too strict with uniform and cleanliness.

Pros

Working at the Panda Express corporate office was a good insight into the IT environment. I valued the work I did with fellow co-workers and it was a great place to work, learn, and grow my skills.

Cons

They forced us to read the 7 habits of highly effective people. Its a good book, but the fact that it was a requirement to get the job was a little bit bizarre.
