Panera Bread Company Reviews

What is it like working at Panera Bread Company?

Easy to learn, tough to master.
Sales Associate in Fort Wayne:
Pros: The people and the food
Cons: Hard to get any communication on your future. They tell you they want to cross train you on different things so you are more useful, then they might not ever train you, or just throw you in with no training.
Organized Chaos.
Catering Coordinator in Cullman:
Pros: The people I work with, in the Cafe as well as my clients.
Cons: Stress and never knowing my real work schedule, until the night before.
I love working with Panera.
Research Associate (Unspecified Type) in Bradenton:
Pros: Everyday is a challenge and it’s always interesting
Cons: Sometimes can be stressful
Cashier in Selinsgrove:
Pros: Most of the managers are nice. The food is pretty good.
Cons: I feel as though I am being held back from many different opportunities and I think it’s unfair that I train new employees that make the same amount that I do. They’re also terrible at giving breaks. There’s been many days that I have worked 7+ hour shifts without a break.
Short Staffed/Stressful.
Restaurant Assistant Manager in Minneapolis:
Pros: Relationships with employees
Cons: Short staffed - never seem to get a replacement when we lose an employee
I like the fact that people come to me when they have questions and I like the fact that I get to meet new people.
Customer Service Supervisor in Montpelier:
Pros: I get to help people learn new things
Cons: Alot of the employees dont like what they have to do
Compared to working at KFC, it is way better because it is cleaner.
Customer Service Sales Associate in Chico:
Pros: The best aspect of my job is that my coworkers are friendly and also different. It's awesome to see many different peoprle able to share feelings about a job and work togther
Cons: Other than the coworkers I do not feel any joy for doing it for the rest of my life. I am going to school in hopes of finding my true passion and getting a high paying job.
