Panera Bread reviews

Free food

The young managers are mean to elder employees and they talk down to them as if they were animals. No employee recognition for good employees. Young teenager employees play a lot at work. They don’t wear gloves when prepping food nor do they wear masks. They talk a lot while prepping customers food while their spit is sprayed down upon the customers food.

Flexible schedule there’s no benefits for team members. They are only entitled to a pay check and no pay raises.

CEO listens to the managers

Recognize good workers by offering positions that are trainable as leaders. Turn the volume of the music to a softer tone. Stop the profanity in the work place and eliminate the extremely loud talking.

By giving honest answers

When all of the loud managers are not there on weekends. The work environment is more relaxed.

I liked the sense of teamwork and the effective communication I got while employed there. Along side that, I enjoyed the process of self improvement that I experienced.

Management not helping fellow associates when they were struggling while doing there job.

The best and only benefit I received while working there was discounted food and free pastries at the end of the night.

Gain more work experience to get a better job

Not enough hours

Free food and drinks

By letting the manger know it’s okay to show kindness and it’s okay everyone is human we go through things in life

Some what

It’s very okay

Being able to be heard by the general manager about getting a raise and an more hours

Loved the work environment andy coworkers.

The expectations from managers hoping we'd just do their job for them while they get paid for the work they're supposed to be doing but are watching us do it.

I loved the people and friendships I could grow with everyone.

It was very inconsistent, managers would abuse power towards others and would never listen to my schedule.

I had plenty of chances to advance in the company and they hired good people.

The long hours and having to stay late in the evening to close.

The food was great as well as the discount that accompanied it.

The retirement account I was able to open and the employee discount for food.

I like the crew that I worked with and also the customer that come in.

Their nothing that I don’t like about working there.

The discount that I get from purchasing food.

The communication with people, always staying on your feet, learning how to multitask, the diversity, and constantly meeting new people.

Becoming closer to the regulars and making sure everyone gets taken care of.

Panera didn't offer much for benefits.

I liked the fast pace environment.

The pay was so little and management was very unprofessional.

always a busy place. with lots of people

I like every thing i see.

Customers

Management totally cruel and incompetent. More you do the more they use you and let you know you are zero to them. Pay low.

Nothing. Meeting customers that treat you like a human.

The environment, the food, and the people

The management, although my managers are really nice and funny, there needs to be a sense of order and to promote in order.

The 65% off food and free drinks.

I like the hours and the pay. The co workers are pretty great too.

I dont really get any benefits or breaks. The managers can be hard at times.

Overtime. You get a lot of hours at the one I work at.
