They work you to the bone - Counter Help Panda Express Employee Review

Pros

Free food (even though it is horribly unhealthy for you with very limited vegetarian options). They pay slightly more than minimum wage.

Cons

Horrible work-life balance (long hours and unpaid 30 minute required break if you work one of their 12 hour days). They take away your hours if they feel like you made a mistake (no matter how minor. example: not folding your towel a certain way when cleaning a table). You cannot sit down for hours and there is no break room to relax or nap during unpaid breaks. It is exhausting work since you are rushing around all day.

Pros

Lots of development and investment in managers and team. A lot of personal development and financial opportunity available.

Cons

Work Life Balance is something you have to strive for but we have recognized need for growth in this area and we are striving to make a difference!
