I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Rochester, NY) in Dec 2015
Interview
Casual. With my General Manager and District Manager (it's the same set-up if you're being hired out-of-market). They really don't interview you unless they're planning on hiring you so if you get called back in for a second interview they make a job offer at the end.

Question 1
Describe a difficult customer interaction and how you handled it?
Pretty easy process, usually only have two interviews. They typically ask about previous job experiences and how you handle conflict. One with the DM and another with the RM. Both were done virtually but can also be completed in person.

Question 1
How do you handle conflict between two team member that need to work in close prox?
I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Burnsville, MN)
Interview
It was professional and casual at the restaurant. Easy to talk with the recruiter. I didn't ultimately choose it at the time but it was pleasant enough. I think they hire from within and I was hoping to start as a GM
A recruiter reached out to me, before telling me what company the posting was specifically for he insisted on “re-working” my resume, but removed my most recent relevant experience and filled it with buzz words. I either from the process after my first phone interview with the recruiter because he was making the process convoluted and difficult.

Question 1
Why do you think you would be a good fit? (Recruiter had reached out to me hasn’t told me what company the role was with yet, just sent a vague description)
