I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Quincy, MA) in Jun 2015
Interview
I got interviewed twice. One with the assistant manager and the latter with the store manager. The content of the 2 interviews were pretty similar. They asked me the same set of questions, maybe went a little more details in the second interview. It took about 20 min for each interview. The 2nd interview was 1 week after the 1st one. After the 2nd interview, I heard back from them a couple days later.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Orlando, FL)
Interview
The interview was sitting down with the general manager. The job offered on the spot. Cafe associates were largely high school students. Interview reflected ability to show up on time and be trainable.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Melbourne, FL) in Mar 2025
Interview
Interviewer (who was the manager at the time) was a nice person, charming in the way he spoke, understanding, a good listener, and good speaker. I didn't get the job, but he was still very charitable when interviewing me.
I applied online and was reached out for an interview a couple days later. We briefly went over my resume and talked about availability and interest. The meeting with the general manager was only about 15 minutes - 30 minutes long.
