      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

      (Note: I worked inside a Six Flags so it was a bit different than a regular Panda Express.) Free food, fun coworkers, 20% discount at Panda Express locations, free uniform and jacket (during the winter), and they pay a little bit more than minimum wage, and offer 401k, direct deposit, vacation pay-even if you don't work that many hours-full time is considered 30 hours a week, I think. I also got a raise after working only about 6 months.

      Cons

      annoying customers, coworkers slacking off, 10 minute breaks are not long enough for going to the bathroom and eating a meal, long hours, inconsistency in the quality of food sometimes because different people will make it (sometimes the cashiers/steam table people will cook the food)
