I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Montgomery, AL) in Oct 2015
Interview
I applied online after being informed that a position was available. There was an assessment that took maybe about 45 minutes to complete that basically tested your personality, work values, how you would handle a few what if situations. I received a phone call from the manager a few days later to schedule an interview. The interview was in the dining room of the Montgomery location, the manger was very warm.
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.
