"I've worked with Panera for almost 2 years in separate locations. The rules and regulations are fair but tedious. Management may vary from location to location. The job is very fast paced and you will have to be quick on your feet. It has a great employee discount. The pros and cons of working for Panera are pretty even I would say. It's good, not great."
"Out of all the places I've worked Panera is one of the better. The people are friendly enough. It's still fast paced and it's a lot of work for minimum wage."
