Panera Bread reviews

Incompetent, rude, lazy managers Schedule was never posted on time. Extremely poor scheduling. Never enough associates scheduled to work a shift, yet tons of associates hired. Very poor pay. Poor growth oprotunity. Horribly inconsitant hours. Called into work every scheduled day off. Too many young and lazy associates hired. Too many managers. You never get any requested days off even if it's for an emergency. Work people when they are injured, or ill. Management takes the job WAAAAAAY too seriously. ( It's a sandwich joint for crying out loud.) Bread bashes/ meetings every two weeks. ( Hard to attend a mandatory meeting if you have a second job, or family who needs your help.)

If you're a good worker, they "reward" you by loading up your hours, constantly assigning you to "solo bakes" and expecting you to fill in whenever another baker calls off, which happens ALL THE TIME. Then the boss gets mad when you log in too many overtime hours because you were putting in so much time to cover for the slacker bakers who can't seem to show up for their assigned shift.
