Pros

I loved my time at Panera Bread in Victor. I think it was largely due to the people who worked with me, I had an amazing crew.

Cons

If you have a bad crew then the work will not be great. Overall, I had a great experience though. Occasionally we would get rude customers, but nothing ridiculous while I was there.
