Pros

there are no PROS, none

Cons

My last 2 paychecks were stolen from the Manager's office at this location and cashed. This was near the end of 2018 and I reported it to owner of this Panera location (Cavelli Enterprises). After numerous phone calls and emails to Cavelli Enterprises, they sent me copies of cashed checks and I submitted an affadavit stating that it was not my signature on the checks. I still have not been paid by Panera (Cavelli). Cavelli Enterprises employees are rude, dismissive when I call (stating that affadavit has been sent to bank) and have never once voiced any concern that I have not been paid what they owe me. Bank tells me they will only speak with Panera. DO NOT GO NEAR THIS PANERA . Management is unprofessional, some staff work a little, some don't. I started work at 8:00 am, got a break around 9-9:30am and then worked on my feet, non stop until 4:00pm. You would think that with all the Asst. Managers they have, this place would be top of the line. There is no one in charge or interested in the overall location. If you do go in, go in first thing in the morning and you will see that night shift has not cleaned bathrooms or much else.
