I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread in Nov 2014
Interview
I applied online and about a week later got called in for an interview. I went in for the interview and ended up doing two with two different managers (with a 15 minute wait in between) and both said they liked me! One noted he liked my personality and that I had a great smile. So he scheduled an interview with a third (general) manager. We talked for about half an hour and I was nervous at first but loosened up quickly. After some talking she asked how much I wanted to get paid then said “welcome on board”. I had no job experience prior to this but made sure to note my volunteer experience.

Question 1
What is one surprising thing you learned about yourself when volunteering at soup kitchens?
You get a call to interview In person with one manager and then if you pass that round you interview with the store manager might depend on store to store

What was it like working with a difficult co worker
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.

Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
