Pros

Panera has a very well planned and laid out system - very methodical. I have enjoyed the organization of the store and the product. As a night baker, it is a relief to work with some very kind-hearted, even-tempered individuals.

Cons

The pay rate is low, especially based on my experience.

Pros

Discount on the food for employees is decent. Good looking women come in the place all day. Some fellow employees are bearable

Cons

Managers, Pay, Job duties, Atmosphere. This place is an absolute disaster. The pay is minimum wage and the expectations are very high. Expect to be treated like a slave.
