Pros

It's usually so busy the time always seems to fly by. I work early morning as a zone leader in the bakery as a cashier. I also run through the dining room a lot. It's not so bad once you get the hang of it. Great discount on food and free coffee always helps. I love the people I work with too! It's true that there are awesome people working for Panera!

Cons

Can be stressful when it doesn't need to be. But keep in mind you only make yourself stressed. The customers can be a little irritating sometimes but you'll run into this ANYWHERE you work with people.
