Pros

The pay is relatively high for a fast food restaurant business, there is a lot of learning and growing involved, and responsibility is given to everyone. Only enjoyed my co-workers and ended up staying longer because they were short-staffed.

Cons

Tons of work and too many high expectations to meet, depending on the management in the area-management usually needs a lot of improvement, high turnover rate leading to almost always a short staff, and numerous complaining customers. Many restaurants have managers that are rarely working since they are on a salary budget.

Pros

The pay is good. You are able to eat food. The co-workers are nice. They have events for all the pandas that you can go on like once year.

Cons

i felt like I was not trained very well from the beginning. Still learning things that I should have been told at the beginning of when I started working. Dont really hear that I have done a good job. the hours are long days usually but some are short.

Pros

Pay is ok for someone in school, untill you find out that other people pay the same thing and if not more The owner is a nice man, but he is unable to see what his lower manigers are doing

Cons

Management could never show up on time, and that lead to everyone eles showing up late besides two people who had to work harder than everyone eles. When you work at panda they expect you to do 3 doubles in a row, and get upset when you decline
