I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Panera Bread
Interview
Questions were easy, they are really looking for outgoing, bubbly and friendly people. Shy and quiet people usually don't get hired. Don't take this job if you cannot be on your feet for 5-6 hours straight or even longer. Food is OK - it is good that it is healthy at least.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Imagine you have been at Panera for a while and you have a busy lunch rush and you see your coworker 'eyeballing' the amount of chicken needed on a sandwich instead of using the proper scoop, you can tell he has about the correct amount. You are busy doing something and customers are waiting in line. Do you go find the scoop to help your coworker properly measure the amount of chicken or let him continue to eyeball it and keep doing your work?
You get a call to interview In person with one manager and then if you pass that round you interview with the store manager might depend on store to store

Question 1
What was it like working with a difficult co worker
I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Charlotte, NC)
Interview
I walked into the store in the morning maybe an hour before lunch rush on a weekday and was pretty much immediately able to meet with a manager and review my application.

Question 1
Preferred hours and pay (though this is more courtesy it seemed than actually paying attention — the manager was ALWAYS upset abt people asking for select hours off even when asking weeks in advance)
very quick and easy. I applied online and then went in person to have an interview with the general manager. Just a couple of questions about availability and experience (I had none but they trained me and it was pretty easy)
