Pros

Panda Express is a great company to work for. There are many opportunities for you to grow within the company. I started as a counter help and moved up to a manager in 3 years. They take their time to develop me professional and personally.

Cons

It is a very demanding job, I have long shifts and usually work the weekends.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and great hours

Cons

Teamwork is not prevalent. Shifts do not care about the next shift and when coupled with a rush creates a intensely stressful environment for a new employee. Politics plays a huge part in whether or not people will help you and determines the demeanor they use when communicating with you,
