Panda Express Employer Reviews

Working at Panda Express required determination and focus. Multitasking and a positive attitude were skills needed for the job.

A typical day at panda express, it would be really busy so you have to be fast paced at times. I learner how to be quick while doing multiple things at once, my manager was a good manager she is always on you to keep going. some of my co workers I loved working with others I didn't. There wasn't a hard part about panda at all, and I enjoyed having good – more... flexible work hours. – less

At first working here was great. We had our benefits and overtime wasn't really a problem. However, where our new managers took over, things became unbearable.

My manager, Ollie, is a half-wit. He barely knows how to make a schedule and doesn't show up on the days he is scheduled. So essentially he's at home playing games getting paid for 50 hours – more... that he isn't working.

My previous manager was someone to have faith in. I have no more faith in this company. – less

Panda Express is a fun and busy environment. I learned many things working for this company. For instance one thing that really stuck was "the customer is always right!" That is something to live by. The management was poor. They have gone through two managers when I worked there and both just did not care. They never were at work, they would promise – more... promotions that would never happen and they not only wanted you to do your job but theirs also. The hardest part of this job was dealing with the management, all of the rest was easy and fairly enjoyable. – less

enjoyed the fast paced work, loved making the customers smile, helping teammates if they needed me and assisted the manager

a learning experience, very supportive company with excellent incentives and advancement opportunities. The hardest part of the job is to deal with employees that don't work as team players.

nothing really good about this company. long hours no breaks

A typical day at work for an opening shift would start with filling the steam table with water, fill the sanitizer buckets with fluid, open the umbrellas, count the safe and take out the registers. A typical closing shift would include closing my coworkers register and then my register, counting the safe and the deposit, filling out the deposit slip – more... and filling in the cash balance on the computer, you would also have to clean either the lobby or the steam table. The cleaner and better stalked you kept everything during the day, the easier it was to close at night. Working there taught me a lot about cleaning up after guests, sweeping in corners and looking under booths. I learned to always be busy, there was usually something to clean or polish and I learned how to keep an eye on the dining room also to "table touch" or ask guests how they were doing. I also learned the ebb and flow of customers and that during a lull you should be stalking because it will not be calm for long and you do not want to have to run in the back during a rush. I learned how to count a register also how to count the safe and the deposit at the end of the night. The most enjoyable part of the job were my coworkers, we worked well together. The most stressful part of the job was to have a customer waiting for their food. I had to supervise the cooks and make sure they had understood if something was waiting, also I had to make sure that they kept popular food items stalked enough in advance so a customer would not have to wait long for their food. I had four managers at Panda Express, they each wanted different things. My third manager was the most customer oriented and also the most streamline. He was straight forward which made him easy to work with. – less

Work Hard & No Pay Makes You Go Crazy. They stress too much on customers comment card. More people will put bad comments than good. Pay wasn't good, food is really bad for you. Special Benefits if you were Asian ( Faster promotions)

A typical day at panda express was simple all I did was greet the customers, ask if they wanted to try a sample of any of our dishes, then I would make there plate and ring them out at the register.

Panda Express was a good job to earn more money than a average job. This job was stressful everyday due to busy hours and try to cook everything perfect.

I loved this place even before I started working here. After learning how everything was made though I rarely eat the food. The manager at this place rocked! She was very encouraging and flexible when it came to changes with the work schedule. She was also someone you could go to if you had problems and she was very understanding. The job was very fast – more... paced during lunch and dinner hour, so majority of the time was spent cleaning and restocking. You get to learn a little bit of everything;cashier, food serving, food preparation, and cooking. – less

I learned to how to be an even better team player and even harder worker. the best art of my job was working with my co-workers as a team during a ruff part of the day and get the job done.

* Informative Manager
*Fun Guest
*Fantastic Staff
*Short Staff days are tough
* Communication with the guests are the best.

Good working environment and a good place to eat. Regular day consist of washing hands before work, preparing food, assisting customers with their food purchases, and maintaining a good work environment.

Requires alot of standing and fast pace work. A very fun and busy place to work at. Love the food and co-worker.

A typical day at work would have to be taking food orders and ringing customers up, and keeping restaurant clean and keeping everything stocked in an orderly fashion. Management is NOT that good, due to personal conflicts with them. My co-workers are in the same category as management, nothing special or professional. The hardest part of the job is – more... working with who I had to work with. No enjoyable moments, sorry. – less

I learned how to deal with customers better then i previously knew how. I was able to improve my skills at the register. The co-wrokers were fun and very polite and professional. I had no problems.

stressful, verbally abusive, no consideration for anyone but themselves, they move people up that don't have any experience when i have 10 years of experience.

Panda Express is a great place to start off as first job. I learned a lot from this job. My team members are great and I enjoy working with them. The only thing that stress me out are the lunch and dinner rushes but my team and I usually pull through. Management is okay.
