Trainer
May 2016 • Janesville, WI
What I liked
I was able to work on my communication skills every single day. I was able to help train new employees in my specialty area which would be the drive through. I was able to work with some of my best friends over the summer and still today. I was also able to make pretty decent money each pay check as well.
What I wish was different
I wouldn't have changed a thing. It's a really nice part-time job here at Panera.
Advice
I would say be more open to taking other people's shifts or staying later/longer if someone called in. I would be way too quick to say no when I could have been there.

What I liked
What I wish was different
I wish that the particular establishment I was working at had been better at communication and mentorship, as I feel as though those were areas that were lacking.
Advice
Appreciate fast food workers and be patient with us - you'll quickly learn that we have a lot to juggle, and you'll need to be able to work efficiently in a fast pace environment to keep up.

Delivery Team Member

What I liked
What I wish was different
Advice
Stay away. Completely dysfunctional work environment, in which there was absolutely no accountability on the part of the general manager and higher management. I injured myself on the job and had to pretend I didn't to avoid letting deliveries arrive late. One of my coworkers worked up to 50 hour weeks with no overtime pay.
