Panera Bread reviews

They ask you where you want to work in there like cashier or sandwich line and then they put you somewhere totally different when you get hired. Very unprofessional to offer someone a job over the phone and not even tell the person how much they are going to be making! And there is definitely not enough training. My first day there I was on the computer for like 3 hours watching videos and then put immediately on the sandwich line for lunch by myself. I handled it well, but I didn't like it at all. I know the one I worked at had issues with call-ins so the managers had to do all of the grunt work also. Too much hostility there. They have people "training" that aren't 'certified' trainers and the ones that are considered "trainers" couldn't train someone to save their life. Cashiers are ringing people up for stuff that can't even be made--communication is terrible. And having meetings that last until almost 10 PM and scheduling people to be there at 5 AM isn't exactly good management.

You work so hard and have so much expected of you but you only make minimum wage! Managers have favorites and favorites get the best hours, days off they want, and promotions.
