Pros

It has a good work environment and there isn't anything disgusting going on behind the counter. Employee discounts are good too since Panera has good food.

Cons

I was never excited to work, but that is just the fact that it's a retail job.

Pros

Youre out of the store a lot, you get to listen to your music/book/podcast a lot, good tips from customers most of the time.

Cons

Driver drama due to order assigning protocols. They replaced most delivery drivers with 3rd party delivery to save money.
