Pros

free food,met a couple nice co-workers

Cons

10 minute breaks if you work 6 hours (most employees)or less, which doesn't give you enough time to eat or fully stretch and recuperate after running round in circles all day,poor management, unfair treatment, rude customers, improper training on how to handle angry customers, no different than other fast food chains, if you work at a panda with younger employees , be prepared for lots of he said she said and hater coworkers teaching you how to do things improperly

Pros

Able to get whichever days you want off is extremely convenient, free meals on break, and the starting pay is way better than most.

Cons

Clear favoritism from the managers, horrible customers, physically demanding especially after closing, seem to be doing way more work than the managers and they put in less than half the work than the regular employees do! Moving up is also very hard.

Pros

Free food, felixible schedule, cool coworkers.

Cons

Upper management is really bad. They aren't trained well and act disrespectful at times. They promise to move you up but do not do anything to help you. After a while you are often neglected.
