Cashier/Crew (Current Employee)
Hamilton, ON

I have been working at Wendy's part-time for more than 3 years

ProsSometimes a lot of people call in so you get more hours than you were scheduled.

ConsThere is too much favouritism and if you are not liked you will not get many hours. Plus only the daytime staff get benefits.

Advice to Senior ManagementStop the favouritism it's annoying.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Easy Work, Incredibly Disorganized

Crew Member (Current Employee)

I have been working at Wendy's part-time for more than a year

ProsFlexible Schedule
Simple Work
Fun Co-Workers
Employee Discount

ConsSchedule subject to change without notice
3/4 Mangers do not speak English well
Understaffed
Disorganized
Lack of Training

Advice to Senior ManagementProvide better training, as a fourteen and fifteen year old at my first job I found myself unsure and scared to ask for further training as I was often ignored when I requested help. Untrained employees who make mistakes are often yelled at, a painful experience to watch as I see new trainees flounder.
