I applied in-person. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Benicia, CA) in Apr 2016
Interview
I went in and ask if they were hiring; the assistant manager gave me a very firm and comforting handshake after telling me to apply online. After I applied online, a few hours later, he contacted me and told me to come in for an interview. The interview lasted about fifteen minutes and went, in my opinion, very well.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Panda Express
Interview
It was very easy, just answer honestly since they are hiring they want to hire anyone that shows they will be a good employee. Don't try to move up in management, unless you want to stay with the company for 5+ years, they will make you bend over backwards for them.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Panda Express (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
It was an average interview about 15 minutes long. Not too critical, but they ask a good questions. I had a second interview with the district manager, and she was very nice.
