"I really enjoyed my training and the process. On my orientation day I thought I would be a bit overwhelmed with all that I would be learning, but I was quickly put at ease. The training is a lot to cover, however the program does a great job of breaking it down into small manageable bits. I felt completely supported by both the associates and the training team.

The mission statement at Doherty and concept essence and cultural values of Panera truly align to make the Doherty/Panera partnership a company you can truly be proud to work for. Doherty employs the best people, what can I say about the amazing people I get to work with on a daily basis and all the support from upper management and our office staff, this is what makes Doherty special and the best company I have ever had the privilege of working for."
