I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Panera Bread (New York, NY)
Interview
After submitting my application, I did not get an immediate response so I ended up e-mailing my resume directly to the Bakery Market Manager. He appreciated my persistence and had me in for an interview the next day. He was very open with me and the initial interview was quite thorough (we talked for over an hour). He told me that he would contact me even if I wasn't offered the job, which I really appreciated!
I applied online. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Salem, OR)
Interview
I answered a few questions with the hiring manager. It was a quick interview, maybe 20-30 minutes. Simple questions about my availability and interest in working for Panera. Hiring manager was very chill.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Panera Bread (Auburn, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Just a general interview, didn't ask at all about the position I applied for though so that was upsetting. Seemed relaxed but gave no info on when a second interview would happen
