"I've worked for panda express for about one year and my experience with the company has been satisfactory. There is room for development and professional growth. The one issue I can not overcome is their relocation policy, where you are expected to be willing to relocate up to a 50-mile radius. However, my experience has been a relocation almost every month. I would like to dins a job where I am in a stable location."

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."
