Panera Bread Associate interview questions

I applied the weekend before Thanksgiving online and had to take a long battery of "personality" type questions. They are the typical "I would rather work by myself than on a team", with responses such as this question "Does not describe me", "Somewhat describes me", etc I was immediately called back the next day by someone in the corporate office of the local franchise. They gave me a quick phone screen, which featured questions pertaining to their dress code and other basic company values. They also told me that they wanted to enroll me in their "fast track supervisor" program, when they noted that I had previous supervisory experience. When I "passed" this screen, I was asked to come in for an interview the next day at one of the franchise's stores. I met with a younger woman from corporate and she went through about 20 questions. The standard question of "Do you have any questions for me?" I asked her if she would like a list of references; to which she responded that no one had ever asked her that before; but she was happy to take it. She then excused herself to speak with a manager. When she returned, she asked if I could return for another interview the following week (since it was the week of Thanksgiving). I returned for the second interview and the majority of the questions were the same, but a few were more in-depth about my previous supervisory experience. After this interview concluded, I was asked to return for a third and final interview the next day. This interview was far more in-depth than the others and was a battery of questions related to my supervisory experience. I was also asked questions pertaining to my personal customer service experiences. After the interview was over, the GM who interviewed me excused herself to call her district manager. She then returned with an offer sheet and asked how much I would expect to make. I provided my answer and was pleased to see they were offering me more than I expected. I told her that I would have an answer for her later that afternoon; ultimately accepting the job.

Submitted my application online, and then called two days later to make sure they received it. Was offered an interview. The interview was fairly brief, just discussing my interests and why I would be a good fit. Was asked back for a second interview, which was basically the same thing. Was hired at the second interview, and came in a week later to fill out paper work.
