I worked for Panera from August 2020 to May 2021 . Back when I was still in high school and desperate for a job .
At first the job was good , I was getting 15 hours a week . But then I was doing other duties and working 5 days a week . Some nights I there until 10 pm on school nights .
The max hours they could work a minor was 27 hours a week .
The countless times I got yelled at for things that weren't my fault and coming to piles of dirty dishes that should've been done in the morning . I was literally finding egg and sausage in some pans .
Most of the staff was teenagers and the managers were a bunch of idiots .
Oh they also don't care about covid .
In December 2020 , My mother and step father had come down with nasty cases of covid. When I got the call from them while working the Christmas shift . My manager told me to grab my shit and leave . Two weeks I was out of working until I tested negative or my parents did .
In April , my boss had allowed someone with covid to work. Which brought the crew down to me , a manger , drive thru and 3 line workers . Note none of us were over 19 at the time . So it was a shit show to say the least .
After I left , the place has pretty much gone down hill. I got a job across the street at a Primanti Bros restaurant. They treat me much better and pay me what I'm worth .
So never work for Panera Bread
