Business Outlook

Pros

I learned about hard work, sacrifice, and high expectations. My experiences at Panda make me a much more attractive candidate for future positions because most peolpe in the industry know how dedicated you have to be to survive at Panda.

Cons

I was told I was 'too white and too female' to be promoted. I worked 60+ hours a week and traveled up to 50% of the time. Unless you are willing to sell your soul or you are Asian, there are few opportunities to grow with this company
