Pros
This is my first job and I love it! You definitely have to be a hard worker if you want to work here though. I work in the front and you have to be able to stay calm and focused when there's a line especially during lunch and dinner rushes. There's always something to do too so time goes by quickly during an 8-hour shift. I've worked here for a short period of time but have learned so much. Panda Express is an amazing company and there's definitely room for growth if you want to move up in the company. The feedback I get from my manager and upper management whenever we had store visits has helped me to become both a better worker and person.
Cons
It can be a lot to handle when there's a long line of people and then having to deal with the customers. I work about 30 hours a week and that might be a lot for others especially if you're a student which was my case but I love my job so the hours are no problem. It's a physically demanding job so you'll find yourself tired when you first start working but once you get the hang of things then you won't feel as tired but still requires a lot of physical work especially if you work in the back or as a cook.
