comforting environment, safe and fun workplace
CREW (CASHIER, DRIVE THRU, RUNNER) (Former Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 21 December 2018
as a cashier, giving the best customer service is a must. it is hard to deal with customers that is going to blame me or get mad for things that I do no control like the pricing, portioning of the food, etc. nonetheless, my workplace was safe and I felt like my coworkers always have my back and would help me out anytime im having trouble dealing with problems in the store.
Good Experience for High School Students
Shift Manager (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 6 December 2018
The overall work environment is 2.5/5 for me. Like any job, it comes with a lot of pros and cons. The pros being that if you're a hard worker, you get a ton of hours, for staff members, food was 50% off, and there was socialization outside of the workplace; like summer events and Christmas dinners. The cons were that it is run by high school students, if you are not part of the ‘clique’, then consider yourself a target. The stigma of the store was poor, due to the fact that immature people are promoted too fast. Management was very poor as there was no fear instilled in the employees which allowed them to think they could do whatever they want. Also, there were favourites, and the favourites always got the last word, even if their word was wrong. Many people have left the job solely for this reason. I recommend this job for someone who is between the ages of 16-20. If you’re older than that, and would like a career in fast food, look for something that includes more mature employees.
Pros
Lots of hours
Cons
Attitude of employees, run by high school students
company running down hill
Inventory Clerk (Former Employee) – Victoria, BC – 19 November 2018
Sadly when i worked for Arby's it was under terrible management and the store was eventually shut down so i dont have much to say about the company. It's your basic fast food experience, trained in cash and prep. low end employees like myself were given duties that typicly a manager would do so it worked learning some management skills. I don't know if all Arby's are the same but there was no cleaning training or duties involved in any part of the job. Got free food on breaks and slow times.
Pros
free food, very flexible hours, laid back work
Cons
management and training program, store cleanliness
very productive place fun and life teaching
Part-time employee (Former Employee) – St. Catharines, ON – 19 November 2018
i think that if the place had more employees working then the food would be made faster and that they should also put music on for people's entertainment and comfort wale eating there food.
Pros
5 minute lunch break
Cons
short hours
Fun and enjoyable environment
Food Service Attendant (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 13 November 2018
Working in a fast paced environment is tiring and fun at the same. During busy hours we need to reach the target time that we needed and also reach a desired quality of the product. Even though its busy we still have time to laugh of everyone joke to ease the busy day. We also learn to work as a team to make the work much faster. The management was also accommodating especially to our schedule.
Pros
Free lunch and fun workmates
Cons
no benefits
Never Appreciated
Lead Hand (Shift Supervisor) (Former Employee) – Bridgewater, NS – 7 November 2018
Spent 10 years working here. It was the worst job I ever had. The owner wasn't very friendly and made it hard for staff to stay on. Not much appreciation for the work done. I even had a guest one time offer me her purse to hit the owner with.
Pros
benefits
Cons
Not appreciated
it's a chill place to work because of its location and the management
Cashier (Former Employee) – Spruce Grove, AB – 4 November 2018
I only worked with this company for 2 weeks because I had to move here in Toronto. But in those 2 weeks I learned how to clean and maintain the cleanliness of the lobby and it was my first job so I actually get to enjoy to use their till. The management of the store was fully organized and they make sure to serve people with satisfaction
Pros
Free ride
Cons
Clean environment

Lots of hours! Steady pay
Customer Service Associate (Former Employee) – Oshawa, ON – 26 September 2018
Good hours, steady pay but the management is not that great. Training is thorough but again the boss is not that laid back-not the he needs to be (creates better work environment though). A great job for teens.
Pros
Steady hours
Cons
No free food

Talking the day away
Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) – Prince Albert, SK – 24 July 2018
Whenever the day was slow we staff, would kill time and socialize while attending to our responsibilities and duties. Plus the food was great to order on your days off.
Fairly good workplace
Cashier (Current Employee) – Kanata, ON – 5 June 2018
A typical day at work involved using the fryers, taking orders, handing out meals, and working with meals. It was enjoyable and kept you busy but was very low staffed. The coworkers felt more like family than workers. It had it's bad moments but overall was a good work experience.
Great restaurant
Front Line Worker (Former Employee) – St. Albert, AB – 16 May 2018
i don't fully remember everything when i worked there seeming it was a few years back, but i do recall enjoying the job very much. For a part time job arbys was super great. I got flexible hours working there instead of just a set schedule. I could work around my school time, which was nice. The team i worked with were amazing people, we always had smiles & everyone was just as friendly as could be.
Pros
free drinks
Cons
busy day/night
