Panda Express reviews

Expect to work very hard and to work long hours.

Training is very poor. Thrown into the position without getting the proper training then being reprimanded when the work is not being done properly. General Managers sometimes don't know how to complete various tasks related to each position and have to ask employees how to do the work; this falls back on poor training. Promises of getting trained for other positions but not getting the full training so no raise but still expected to do the work. As an example, I have been partially trained for front of house 1 and back of house 2 (cook) but no raise for either training or completion of training. I am still expected to work those positions if needed on the schedule. Managers preach the company values but don't follow them. They are not Proactive, do not share Respect, limit Growth, sometimes interfere with Great Operations, and are rarely seen Giving back to hard workers. Schedule is not consistent and is posted weekly. Typically I had to wait until Thursday to find out what my hours for the next week would be, so don't expect to have much time to make plans for events or family. Expect to work weekends unless you have a second job that doesn't allow you to come in during regular operation hours.
