Panera Bread

Delivery Driver

July 2020 • Lake Orion, MI

What I liked

I get paid well, and the tips and mileage pay are higher than I would have expected.

What I wish was different

Sometimes I wish that the tips aren't displayed on the receipts so that driver's don't take the larger tips on purpose.

Advice

This is a very good job opportunity! I really like working there!

Associate

July 2019 • Davis, CA

What I liked

There is a really good environment in terms of your coworkers and managers. You're given plenty of time and opportunity to learn your position and you are asked directly if you want to learn another one. That is, they don't force you into another role. We also have a discount on food for associates.

What I wish was different

We receive yearly reviews at the location where we have the opportunity for raises if we worked well across the year, but the review was several months late and I believe the raise they gave did not accurately reflect the work I put in.

Advice

Don't be afraid to speak with the managers about different work topics. They are very approachable and generally very helpful.

Customer service

June 2019 - January 2020 • Allen Park, MI

What I liked

The managers were kind. Making connections is a significant asset to maintaining a job and working with people I’ve only met at work develops as well as improved your communication skills

What I wish was different

I wish I was more open. Considering it was my first job, I was shy. But the more comfortable you get, the better.

Advice

By providing customer service, you will learn how to handle disappointment, work efficiently and effectively

Delivery driver

June 2020 • Cumberland, RI

What I liked

The job provided me with a lot of freedom and experience.

What I wish was different

They switched to DoorDash so I am now only employed to do in-store work, which I did not enjoy as much as delivering.

Advice

Being organized and delivering based upon locations close to one another maximizes efficiency.

Customer Service Representative

June - November 2020 • Taylor, MI

What I liked

Team work experience and liked the working environment where everyone working continuously in a fast pace.

What I wish was different

The pay could be more than what employees receive because the work load is a lot.

Advice

If someone doesn’t like fast pace work without any stop and want to get more pay then this job isn’t for you.

Team Lead

August 2018 • Kokomo, IN

What I liked

The managers were super great, and I made friends out of my coworkers. They work well with your hours and around your schedule.

What I wish was different

We seemed to always be understaffed and struggling to keep up during rush hours.

Advice

Always keep a smile on your face, no matter how hard it gets.
