Pros

Free food (until you get sick of it) and good benefits

Cons

Becareful of what you wish for... if you want to move up the ladder at panda, be ready to go through a rigorous and intensive training where you have to take a series of tests, homework assignments, and interviews to earn the title and benefits of GM. Didn't sleep for days studying and preparing for field evaluation where two administrators score you based on everything you do, say, or don't do. I was appalled when I found out that I had failed the evaluation because I was using too many fancy words or vocabulary when speaking. For the first time in my life, I felt as if i was being penalized for using words they deemed to be too complex (or they were struggling to understand). In fact, it was very difficult for me to understand the administrator at times due to their heavy accents. You will pass with flying colors if you can speak broken English and find ways to thank the company as if you owe them your life. The only thing I am grateful from my experience was learning how to say NO to your superiors' unrealistic demands. First and last job I will ever walk out on.

Pros

No Management is perfect. I just kept on working hard and looked at the positive side of things. Cracking jokes and respecting one another helped a lot during my work time with PRG.

Cons

If one is sensitive and focuses on the negative side of the business, one will not survive anywhere one works
