Panda Express Environment Employee Reviews

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

at the risk of diabetes and blood triglyceride count increase all the free food while on shift

The cooks are nice but front of house is terrible to each other and hours are unfair in the sense of favoritism.

the posters about our culture

Sharing each other life stories daily and job issues, where it seems we're connected.

We get free food there

My team is very kind and understanding.

My company creat a safe environment for all of us. Panda Culture is amazing.

The culture is busy and nice

Everyone greets everyone hi and goodbye.

Review from Customer Success Dept

La comunicación y el trabajo en equip

umm working together but not really

Everyone accepts everyone by who they are

Customers are pleasant and patient

Team and management overall it been a nice company

Going home at the end of a shift

Employees help one another and try to keep other employees in high spirits

the culture used to foster growth and personal development

Everyone loves to work together to ensure good quality of food in a timely manner

They inspire better lives by coaching, training and following up.

Everyone is goal driven and wants to improve each other

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Gm and AM need to be activley involved with employees with their concerns,feelings etc.

I don't know honestly. Tbh

Treating people and coworkers as human and not just rude, strict, and calling them names

This company needs better management training.

Panda forces its employees to pay out of pocket for expensive new-age self help classes to even be considered for promotion.

Review from Sales Dept

Better work life balance. Better pay or benefits. Better work hours. Better management. Better support from executive team. Consecutive days off. Less than 45, 50, 60 hour work weeks. Inconsistent scheduling and constant nagging during vacation/time off.

Paying more attention to associates.

Review from Customer Success Dept

Allow management to be store managers and don't micromanage the stores and allow the managers to truly flourish as a manager so that they can grow in that position

They need to stop letting employees rule the stores and take action and responsibility and control of their staff

Panda express needs to focus on having a strong learning center to have people become managers, not having those who want to get a better position in panda, have to work as a lower position while also doing and learning tasks just to get promotions.

Care and protect their employees

Less discriminating and more openminded employees

New manager, and a new assistant manager.

Bad bad bad bad very bad not once it was ever good there

the manager needs to stop talking bad about her employees.

Love, peace and respect valued friendship with coworkers

By giving respect and love to your work and coworkers

Review from HR Dept

More team effort and community building into the job

Make the company less cult like.

Review from Sales Dept

Our store manager put a lot of stress on everyone because she wasn't there to take any responsibilities of keeping the store running. I was working 30+ hours a week which was more than what our shift leads were working. She took advantage of my work ethic and would schedule me 6-12 days straight.
