Disappointed

Pros

There was room for growth and there was support for it at times.

Cons

You work hard for a company that is so layered that no one can actually see what you did. I’m talking about 14 hour days and working until your body aches everywhere. You even choose the job over family at times. At the end of the day, associates can team up and bully their way to end a manager’s career. The company does not bother to have the manager’s back and instead for the interest of the company will terminate the manager to protect their interest. Termination is at the will of all private companies, but to be charged unfairly and unclearly is unbelievable. Is my review spiteful? No. I am just disappointed that I wasted all this time believing in a company that actually didn’t care about all their employees. Will I get the run around when I do ask about this? Maybe.

Pros

Pay.Tons of Hours. Opportunity for growth.

Cons

Racist. Emotional distress. Slaved/Over-Worked. Always “under-staffed”. Customers act crazy at Panda Express (I have no clue why)

Pros

Pay is good if you want to put in the work.

Cons

A lot of hard manual labor. Working almost everyday. Cult like company structure. Constantly in classes and praising higher ups and worshipping company.
