fun
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
Not Great
Server (Former Employee) – Lethbridge, AB – 16 May 2018
Customers are a bit cheap in comparison to many other restaurants. Management does not communicate well/at all. High turnover rate. Training is essentially non-existent.
Pros
There is nothing good about working here
Cons
Literally everything
Fast pace environment, fun
Server (Current Employee) – Whitby, ON – 10 May 2018
I learned how to handle difficult situation with customers and resolve any issues. Ensure customer satisfaction during their dining experience.
Management for me is ok, sometimes they are lenient to employees.

Long hours when it gets busy
Productive workplace
Hostess and Server (Current Employee) – Edmonton, AB – 8 May 2018
It's easy to do tasks during the day, sometimes is busy but manageable and the pay is worth it. Managers help out when it is busy, and coworkers jump in when possible to help as well.
Horrible boss slow winter
Server (Former Employee) – Revelstoke – 1 May 2018
Little money to be made in the slow season unless you’re a morning server which is reserved for a select few that have been there forever. The manager is unfair and not pleasant to work with. If you stand up for yourself when you’re being treated poorly you’ll end up with cut shifts and being bossed around and treated even more poorly. This Dennys has an ever going struggle retaining staff... wonder why!
Honestly never resented a job more in my life and I’ve done a few.
Also get a fairly bad clientele at times that don’t tip. Never worked in a place where this happens so frequently.

Pros
Christmas party
Cons
a little though work
terrible management, inconsiderate with schedules
HOST (Former Employee) – Woodbridge, ON – 21 April 2018
In short, the twenty-percent meal discount was not enough to redeem the restaurant and its disrespectful, unprofessional fashion. Intolerable at best.
Pros
meal discounts, lovely co-workers
Cons
managers will degrade you, non-flexible schedules, dead on weekdays, not a money-making business
Great People and Great managers
Waitress and Certified Trainer (Current Employee) – Okotoks, AB – 19 April 2018
I enjoy being employed with Denny's . Great company to work for and great people as well. Very accommodating and they are very family orientated. I am currently in school and there are not enough hours for me to be able to support myself.
Pros
Flexible
Cons
Not enough hours
Do not reccommed
Server (Former Employee) – Delta, BC – 11 April 2018
This was the worst jobs I've worked at so far. The management is horrible and they don't care for their employees at all. They schedule you days that are not in your availability and make it up to you to find someone to cover your shift. Way too much stress with this job for such little pay.
fun and fast-paced
Hostess/ Waitress (Former Employee) – Terrace, BC – 7 April 2018
I worked here for a couple years, the staff was great and the management was understanding and lenient to my needs and requested times off. I learned alot working here.
Pros
fun enviornment
Cons
the grumpy customers
