Panda Express reviews

Basically, upper management would micromanage you and expect you to micromanage staff under you. Nit pick every little thing that you “need to do” when its not urgent or doesnt involve food safety. They would force you to join landmark seminars if you are forcibly selected for a management role. Upper management and the company are like a cult and expect all their staff to think and act the same way. They all want everyone to have the same beliefs and they will shun you if you think differently. They will promise you a bonus, either you will get a 100 dollar bonus which is nothing what they say youd get or you will get nothing at all. They claim to have integrity and transparency which they are anything but that. Constantly lie to you and will not give you honest answers, ex. Asking about turnover rate. They will avoid answering that to prevent you from being discouraged from accepting the job. They dont care about employee safety and open stores in the hood. Bring security concerns to them and you are ignored until things actually happen, then its the associates fault. Instead of fixing issues or listening they always say, “im sorry you experienced this, please feel free to reach out to the my voice matter program. “

- No work life balance - Meetings up the wazoo. You can't manage your store if your not there - Upper management loses sight of lower management goals because they are so concerned about thriving in the culture - Upwards movement isn't really there. If you are trying to get to Area Coach (District Managers) and above it's almost impossible. There is some relocation you can do but it's hard because not a lot of them want to leave when they are making 500k+ a year. - Staff turnover is huge in this company mainly because you have a set pay you can pay them in your area that is set by corporate. It makes it so we are not competitive in the market for that area.
