Panera Bread reviews

severely underpaid for amount of work that was expected, back of the house was always understaffed so we would have to be doing two jobs at once. We were expected to finish orders in less than 4 minutes which is unreasonable especially when there are multiple orders or you have to wait for sandwiches to heat in the oven or for things like bread and soup to be restocked. Upper management would come in and yell at workers during rushes, and we were always expected to "look busy" or constantly be cleaning even if there was nothing to do and often times other people were talking in the back/not doing their work and others were expected to pick up their slack. If you worked as a prep cook they would give you a long list of things to do and not enough time to finish them. I honestly felt like a robot working here and the uniform was ugly and uncomfortable. At my specific location there were a lot of non black workers and even managers here that would casually throw around the n word every day which made it very uncomfortable for me as a black person working there.

No holiday pay.split duty theyll ask you to do pan up on two cafe with no gas or milage compensation. They won't tell you this becoz no one on their right mind will do two person job. .25 cents raise if your lucky or every 2 yrs. Always short on staff too much job for what they pay for. No break!!!! Unless your fast enough
