i got hired the same day i got interviewed. it feelt so good that someone is giving a first timer a job the same day as an interview. i just can't belive i got it the same day and i think for all the people still looking for jobs in niagara falls you guys and girls are the reason we have so much courage to get up off the couch and look for our potenial first job. i basiclly am happy im working with such a nice crowd of people because i just like getting along with people so ya thats my review peace.

Not a good place
Server (Former Employee) – Abbotsford, BC – 21 July 2018
Management is inconsistent and very unloyal to long term employees, and almost all the employees are sleeping with managers and managers turn a blind eye to stealing that is happening right in front of their faces.
Hard!
Cook (Former Employee) – Winnipeg, MB – 17 July 2018
A typical day was could be very stressful. Busy moments would happen whenever, and there was never enough staff to run a shift. Management's expectations were really high. Good work would go unrewarded with pay raises. Booking off time was a constant problem and trading shifts was nearly impossible. working 6 days a week but only getting 5-7 hr shifts was not ideal. Cook's tips could be taken away if mistakes were made. Which would make you nervous.
What i enjoyed was the great server's and cooks who made it fun. also a free meal a shift.

Line cook (Former Employee) – Toronto, ON – 29 May 2018
A typical shift for a Dennys consists of patrol duties as well as being seated at the front desk to monitor CCTV and greet customers/tenants. When necessary, the guards will be required to documents any outstanding activity and/or events. Otherwise, the workplace culture is welcoming and generally efficient.
Pros
free
Cons
clean
Unpleasant
Hostess/Waitress (Former Employee) – Surrey, BC – 16 May 2018
Training was rushed and unmanaged. Did not feel there was support once "training" was finished. Staff was very physical with each other came across rather unprofessional. Lacked Structure.
Pros
discounted food
