I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Pittsburgh, PA) in Aug 2014
Interview
I turned in an application in person. Almost a month later I got called and asked if I was still interested in the job. We scheduled a time for me to come into the store for the interview. The interview consisted of the manager sitting down at a table with me, going over the employee dress code, and telling me when to come back for orientation. No interview questions were asked and orientation was less than a week of getting a call back. Basically hired immediately, the store must have been desperate.
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.
