Panda Restaurant Group reviews

Becareful of what you wish for... if you want to move up the ladder at panda, be ready to go through a rigorous and intensive training where you have to take a series of tests, homework assignments, and interviews to earn the title and benefits of GM. Didn't sleep for days studying and preparing for field evaluation where two administrators score you based on everything you do, say, or don't do. I was appalled when I found out that I had failed the evaluation because I was using too many fancy words or vocabulary when speaking. For the first time in my life, I felt as if i was being penalized for using words they deemed to be too complex (or they were struggling to understand). In fact, it was very difficult for me to understand the administrator at times due to their heavy accents. You will pass with flying colors if you can speak broken English and find ways to thank the company as if you owe them your life. The only thing I am grateful from my experience was learning how to say NO to your superiors' unrealistic demands. First and last job I will ever walk out on.

Although pay and benefits are great, sometimes it feels like your life should only be Panda if you're trying to move up, and if you don't think that way, you need "personal development courses". Ive been there for quite sometime, and as much as I try to keep feeling the same inspiration I felt when I first got hired and got promoted, I can't help but just feel drained. Random Mandatory meetings that run through late night hours because we can't catch a break during work hours due to tight labor budget, High stress levels because of the Ecosure audit is hailed like some GOD and god forbid you get a 99% without being looked down upon and toxic favoritism. If you take an LOA for personal mental reasons, kinda feels like they turn their back on you.... Great pay, but I dont think its worth the no life part.
