Panera Bread

This company has a high turn over rate for a reason. Employees are overworked and underpaid. If you’re a good worker, expect to pick up everyone else’s slack.

I worked at the Ramsey panera bread as a delivery driver. Unfortunately i did not hold up my end of the job and was released due to miscommunication on my end. Nevertheless it was an ok place to work but the staff made it a great place to work.

I work for 2 year in sanitation and 4 year in pan washer and 7 year in produccion line.I very happy for my joob in Panerabread.

The company is very bottom line oriented and does not provide any care for the employees overall. The stress is intolerable, resources are limited, pay is very low and opportunities to grow are very minor. The schedules are overwhelmed and the work environment is very demanding. Staff cannot physically take breaks. Call outs and turnover is high. I wish I never worked there and dedicated most of my life to this company not realizing the mental and professional abuse I have been subjected to by this employer. I do regret every single minute of my skills and labor I did give to them.

Once upon a time Panera was a decent place to work. This was before JAB Holding got ahold of it and absolutely gutted it for all the good it ever had. The higher ups keep making impractical decisions from behind a desk without having ever worked in a single café. They continue to cut labor hours and expect the same and often more productivity in less amount of time. They have zero idea of how much actual labor is required in order to get anything done. Constantly understaffed, underpaid, and underappreciated. Expect to work with broken and unsafe equipment. Constantly. Requested replacement wheels for the baking racks for 6 months because the wheels had started breaking down to the point where they wouldn't turn anymore and the racks were getting stuck in the oven, falling over, etc. and it took a new district manager to actually get this severe safety hazard taken care of. Labor department and OSHA should probably take a peek at the place.

Didnt get to move up in company i worked for them for 10 years and never got the chance for advancement

This is the dirtiest place ever. Policies and procedures are not followed and employees do not wash their hands.

this place is a complete mess, management is awful. I worked part time and they had me working full time even though I gave them days I can and cannot work they did not listen to that. Didn’t even work here for 3 months before I left.

I was hired back in September of 2019, and I was there until the Covid-19 outbreak happened and Panera was forced to cut staff I was notified that I was cut to no fault of my own. I got to know the staff very well, and I miss working there but at least I could still walk in, and some of the staff who know me come up and talk with me for a little bit.

This store has really poor top management. Only cares about himself and very unfriendly. He had no customer service skills either!!!

Working at Panera was a great experience. It helped to increase my customer service and team building skills that I need for the future.

It was fun while i worked there i lived close at the time so i was able to walk and i would work in the back an prep the meats and chicken for all there sandwiches

Staff are treated horribly and their self proclaimed turn over rate is one of the worst in the food industry.

Under paid every single employee especially managers and the area manager was extremely rude and reflected what i feel the company is about. Taking advantage of anyone to make more money and save money. The company offers no benefits for full time employees, the hours are semi flexible being that our GM gave us days off and really helped out only her part. The told every manager they would be recieving bonus's quarterly for certain stats when achieving those stats and excelling past them the bonus was not recieved and was told that all the things we needed to do better with no positive reinforcement as well as didnt recieve the bonus $600 a lot to college kid like myself. Other than the managers of the actual store being the very best the corporation itself is horrible.

It was just a ok job with me trying for months to move up through my work and showing my ability in learning all position but all went unnoticed
