I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread in June 2012
Interview
I had three interviews with different managers, which I have heard is uncommon. They were pretty standard questions. You could tell they only look at applications when they really need workers.
Received a call to schedule interview, went in and met with team member. Friendly, and very informative. Learned about the company and enjoyed the process. My only concern would be the hours.
