      Store Associate Interview

      7 June 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread

      Interview

      It was confusing at first because I expected the interviewer to be available when I showed up at the cafe. It was breakfast rush at Panera and the line was almost out the door. The associates were working hare and I didn't want to cut out of line. Thus, I waited in that long line to get to a cashier to tell her that I was there for an interview. She gave me a cup to get a drink and then went to the back to get the manager from the office. I was about 10 minutes past my schedule time to interview even though I arrived early since I had to wait in line. I was interviewed by the manager inside the cafe. The interviewer was nice. The interview lasted no more than 15 minutes. I was offered the job straight after she interviewed me.

      I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Valrico, FL) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      Very friendly, straight to the point. I waited 2 min for the manager to be ready but the process was really fast and they gave me a warming welcome. They asked basic questions like how many hours I want a week and if it was my first job or not. They gave me information about their background and how long they have worked there.
