General Manager

What do you like about working at Panda Express?

"I enjoying running a business and managing people as well as delegating jobs."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Be very energetic and outgoing. They only want young and energetic people to run their stores."

What don't you like about working at Panda Express?

"The upper management treats their GM's as if they are hourly employees. They expect you to give your life to this job and even when you do give most of your time its just not enough. Getting days off is also a pain even with the proper notice. You also lose your bonus after getting written up once, it could be a forgotten signature on a sheet of paper. They have not vacation days, sick days. They only have PTO. They give great insurance but no time to use it unless you want to use PTO."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would allow my General Managers the freedom to run their stores the way they would see fit. I would be able to monitor them by their results on the P & L, the cleanliness of the store and through secret shoppers. I would not have them be stuck in a prison AKA their store."
