Pros
Really have yet to find a pro. The pay is minimum wage the managers are the only one's in the store working 40 to 60 hours per week. They schedule the employees like they are just waiting in the parking lot for the busy times of the day. So if your not in high school you should look else where for a job.
Cons
The place serves frozen food the whole menu from the bread to the soups, The only thing that is fresh at Panera is the vegetables placed in the sandwiches and salads. As far as work conditions the whole staff is part time and they send people home before their shift ends to balance the hours. No one can make any money working here and not knowing if you will finish your shift or get called before it starts to not come in. The only staff that they can hold on to is young kids from high school and they do not care what is being served or how clean the plates and utensils are. I would always now order everything to go. For a bread company the stores don't even have a pound of flour. It all comes out of the freezers.The store I am at does not have a stove or a pot .
