Panda Express reviews

Well, we're supposed to put old food on top of new food, mix it in a little bit, and serve oldest (closest to us) first. The adherence to the "throw it out if you wouldn't eat it" rule varies by store/manager because it's expensive/time-consuming to make sure the food is mostly fresh. Higher-up managers will say that the food should *always* be fresh, but almost no one--employees or customers--is willing to wait for fresh food and the lines is causes.

I like the food and the occasional jokes with coworkers and rewarding feeling of getting everything done

Staying super late hours-midnight or later on busy days, the scrutiny of the company, having to scrub every corner in case upper management comes in, the amount of work piled onto and expected from employees, managers will often only help front and not the back

Free food I guess

Good pay for food ($18.50 to $19.50 for starting positions for front/back of house)

Management was awful

Free food

The manager was actively trying to replace the entire crew that was currently working

I would like for them to care more about their employees.

I didn't really prepare.

They offer many types of insurance, scholarships, and good pay

It was very diverse

I was I have been able to become a manager within a year of working. There are opportunities for leadership and continuing your education.

Management is inconsiderate of personal time, The staff members are unreliable.

I am able to work as many hours as I want. There are flexible with my schedule. I love the staff that I work with.

The benefits, bonus and health coverage. I was in a car wreck, hospital bill was $19,000 panda health insurance covered all of it.

Sometimes we don’t hire the right people so it’s a process to get them out.

Bonus! Health insurance with great coverage!

Respect / Win-Win

Tiredness

Growth in oneself everyday .

The opportunity to make connections with customers.

Poor leadership skills from management.

Creating amazing friendships with my coworkers.

The thing I like about working there is that I get to meet new people

The thing I do not like about working there is how I am working in hard times

My favorite benefit is maybe the PTO I get when I work certain hours

I like fast pace work. Working in fast food helped me work fast paced all the time.

I loved everything at first. However, over time the management went downhill and it just became miserable.

I love that Panda Express offered insurance.

Fast-paced and very diverse, employees from at least 3 different countries each shift. Also, the food was very good and fun to cook.

The dishwashing equipment broke a lot (gloves), and my hands were allergic to the soap.

The free food during breaks was definitely my favorite.

The pay was decent for a fast-food job. The work is a lot depending on whether you work in the front or the back.

The management was terrible.

Sometimes good schedules. Sometimes good managers

Bad schedules. Bad management

Learned how cook

I worked with allot of great coworkers and really loved working there

My manager was constantly putting me down
