Question 1
What was it like working with a difficult co worker
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Jan 2011
Interview
It was mostly informal because it was my first job. It didn't take long for management to call me back, if you don't hear in 2-3 weeks they are not hiring for that season.

I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.

Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
