Pros

I have been taught more about management through Panda Express than any other job to date, and they have been able to be very flexible with my scheduling needs. My coworkers are like family and the benefits package is pretty good (not the best, but I've paid more for less).

Cons

Balancing your work life and your social life is damn near impossible if you're a full time employee, and unless you are an assistant manager or above the pay isn't enough to cover post-college expenses. It can be difficult to get promoted if you're not one of your manager's favorites or your team doesn't function very efficiently

Pros

Lots of development and investment in managers and team. A lot of personal development and financial opportunity available.

Cons

Work Life Balance is something you have to strive for but we have recognized need for growth in this area and we are striving to make a difference!
