Panera Bread reviews

Too many managers. They contradict and counter each other almost every day. One will tell you to do something one way and one will tell you to do the same thing another way. I've been working for nearly 7 months and they've still yet to train me completely on anything besides dining room. They started training me on prep the first month and then just stopped out of nowhere. From then on, they made excuses whenever I brought it up. They say I'm excellent and it's just too busy to train me whenever I'm there, but they somehow found time to hire four more people and train them in things they weren't experienced in. The favoritism is obvious and if you're not a favorite you WILL get stuck with doing what other workers should have done.At this point I'm looking for another job.

-You don't stink of grease, but you still stink. -Store opens at 6:30 a.m. -- not for late-sleepers like myself. -Out of those 4 positions, I was originally trained and often worked the hardest position of Dining. I worked the longest and hardest, carrying heavy buckets and garbage, general cleaning up after the public, plus tedious vacuuming and dusting. Everyone else got out around 9:20 when I left as late as 9:45. After repeated requests to be trained on other areas, I threatened to quit and was then moved around. -Working the morning shifts are a nightmare. It is super busy and people are demanding. Dining and dish positions are combined for a full hate-your-life effect. -I never received more than minimum wage. -I trained many people without receiving a trainer's wage. -Auditors are incredibly harsh on stores; you prepare for it by scrubbing the bathrooms ceiling to floor with bleach. -Managers are way too overworked. They have to do the books, monitor employees, deal with customers, plus other stuff...and they usually still do associate stuff like dust ceiling fans. They never told me their salaries but apparently it's not worth it.
