Pros

Good pay, relationships with coworkers are great.

Cons

I don't even know where to start. AVOID THIS JOB AT ALL COSTS. Extremely unprofessional management. All of my coworkers have hooked up with each other. We were always under staffed, and the manager NEVER bothered to hire anyone, which makes it hard to request days off. When you try to request days off, they think you're lying. I've worked at 2 different locations and they're both the same. EVERY Panda location is just as bad as another. If you are forced to work overtime, they make you clock out so you don't get paid overtime. Everyone there is full time, and I was part time. They would try to force me to be full time. I had to miss a day of school once because a girl called off and they forced me to come in. Whenever I did something wrong, or make a mistake, my manager would say, "hey everyone, look what she did, yeah, look what she messed up, I can't believe she did that, seriously oh my gosh..." LIKE NO, that is NOT a learning environment, this is humiliation. So unprofessional. There's so much more I could say, but i'll just leave it at this: DO NOT TAKE THIS JOB. YOU WILL BE MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY DRAINED AND MISERABLE EVERYDAY.
