      Customer Service Associate Interview

      25 Feb 2016
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Panera Bread (New York, NY) in Jan 2016

      Interview

      I applied online and called back 2 to 3 days later. The woman said she'd let them know that I called. A week later, I got a call for an interview in two days. I was nervous, but for no reason. The staff are really nice with a smile on their face and the environment is very chill and casual. When I came in, I told them I was here for an interview and they gave me a free drink and sat down. Didn't wait to long at all, maybe 5 to 10 minutes. I was sat down and he asked me a few very casual questions. Eventually he said I'd be a great fit and that he was offering me the job. Overall, the interview lasted about 15 minutes and was very positive and 'to the point'.
