      Customer Service Associate Interview

      9 Nov 2015
      Anonymous employee
      Kent, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Kent, WA) in Nov 2015

      Interview

      There were 2 interviews. Applied online and was called for an interview a couple days later. A couple days after that, I went in to the the cafe and said I was here for an interview, and was asked if I wanted a drink, and sat down. In five minutes someone came over (he was very friendly) and we had a casual, 15-minutes interview. He asked if I could come in a few hours for a second interview which his boss. When I came in for the second interview, I did the same thing and waited up to about 15 minutes for the boss to come over. She was also very sweet. The interview was no longer than the first and I was offered the job up-front. Definitely the most positive interview experience I've had so far.
