Panera Bread reviews

However, the past couple years has seen a change in the Panera structure. Individual stores may be different, but in my last store....here is what happened. With the additions in how to order, and table delivery, one person ends up doing the work of 2-3 people, especially during rushes...I was exhausted and crashed for hours at the end of each shift, which caused my GPA to drop as I was too tired to study (it makes it worse when other employees don't carry their weight). Incentives slowed, some even stopped. They still encouraged advancement, but unless you could be there at any time and are a management favorite, you don't have much of a chance. The final blow for me was my last semester of college, the management became much less flexible with scheduling, which meant I would have been only able to work 1 day a week...so I found a new job who were happy to work around my schedule.

They screw your pto over due to a technicality, even if youre there for 2+ years they try to take it away for any reason. I got a 25 cent raise in almost 2 years despite scoring high on reviews and generally having positive feedback. This job sucks the social life from you and you may develop sleep problems. The employers genuinely dont care about their employees because the turn over rate is so high.
