I did not enjoy working for Panda, but I think my experience mostly depended on my location. I can’t speak for all of them, only mine. My Team did not pitch in or help out, but were quick to give me more tasks to do while I was already working on one.. mind you, this is while they were standing at the Manager Station chatting with my GM. This happened regularly. We had a very busy location and were never staffed enough. And then we’d get chewed out because the Drive Thru time was too long... but there was only one person running the drive thru and one person running the counter, both with long lines. I was scheduled 10 and 12 hour shifts constantly, sometimes 6 days in a row, and only got two 10 minute breaks and one 30 minute break on all of those double shifts. I worked with a guy who would joke about wanting to have sex with my roommate who had come through one time. I wouldn't go to HR about it though because I had heard another employee had gone to our HR guy who was buddies with the person who had sexually harassed my coworker, and they had a confrontation that was anything but Non Retaliation.. I didn’t even want to try doing anything about it. Favoritism runs rampant. I was constantly pressured to try and promote, but to get the promotion, took so much preparation, but there was never enough time to work on it because I was always put on a register and was stuck in the same spot for hours at a time. Onto other matters now.. you’re going to clean more than you were told in your interview. You will clean and clean and clean and it will never be good enough. Deep cleaning type work. It’s hard labor and I was sore and tired constantly for the first 3 months , but built up resistance and now I’m strong like an ox. I was always working from 11-close so I never had time to do things or get errands done. My life turned into Panda Express and I didnt like that so I left.
