I applied online. I interviewed at Panda Express in Mar 2020
Interview
5 different panel interviews in 5 weeks. The District Manager would not tell me what position I was interviewing for. He claimed whatever one he felt like putting me in....I reached out the recruiter to see if she had any information....nothing! This is the strangest interview process I have ever gone through. I was then ghosted for a week. The recruited claimed I was the best they could find so maybe they would give me the opportunity but they where unsure of my competence.
After weeks of waiting they came back with a low ball insulting offer.. This was a terrible experience...one step above interrogation.
The hiring process was straightforward and efficient. HR was professional, friendly, and communicative throughout the entire process. They made the experience stress-free by providing clear instructions, timely updates, and a welcoming atmosphere. Overall, it was a smooth and positive experience.

Question 1
Can you describe a time when you had to deal with a difficult customer and how you handled it?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Panda Express (Houston, TX)
Interview
Multiple interviews with overwhelming amount of management there. Seems as if they are using interviews to train full management team how to interview instead of actually being interested in candidates. Very weird process, including on the job testing period where you are not taught truly how to do the job before being expected to work.

Interview
Not a lot of information given when interviewing. Asked a lot of questions about specific store interviewing for but the interviewer was a regional person and they never contacted me after interview. Tried to follow up and never got a response.
