You can tell who they favourite

Cashier (Former Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 12 February 2019

many people of the same race work there and also many of them are related, especially to management, so they will have you work open till close if managements child needs a day off to go snowboarding. 50% of the staff are friendly and when the boss is moody, if he is comfortable with you he will tell you where to go, otherwise he lets you walk all over him. get tells some employee to get off their phones while they are checking on their kids but lets the teenage staff check their phones constantly especially on the front line and does not say a word to them. he is inconsistant with his behavior towards staff. also the schedule is never up on time, the week will be over and the schedule for the past week will go up.

Pros

free lunch

Cons

favortism and inconsisantcey

Server, Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 29 January 2019

Average workplace, good to work here while in school as management works around your hours. Usually busy, if dead then we repeatedly clean the same thing over and over.

Horrible work experience.

Front Line Crew, Kitchen Help, Expo (Former Employee) – Gravenhurst, ON – 18 January 2019

The ownership at this restaurant is absoutely horrible. They threaten that you'll lose your job if you call in and make you feel bad if you do.
They mess up your pays all the time and the treatment of the ownership to staff is horrible. They scream at you in front of customers and if you leave they refuse to give your portion of tips earned during your employment. I strongly recommend you don't work here.

Fellow Employees are good bosses not so much

Supervisor/Manager (Former Employee) – Hamilton, ON – 10 January 2019

Having worked for the same boss for years, and a few others over the years at different locations. Franchisees in this industry are greedy and more often then not don't even know how to do the job, but will nitt pick everything. Fellow staff members in general are great. The Higher management not so much. If you like getting yelled at over stupid stuff by an incompetent franchise owner or not getting paid what your worth then this job is for you.

Pros

freindly staff, potential hours

Cons

Bad franchise owners, being yelled at over stupid things, being good at your job gets you critisized more

Stressful Job with mean boss

Garnisher (Former Employee) – Pickering, ON – 7 January 2019

My time at Harveys was mostly difficult because of my circumstance of my parents custody over me. I had gotten the job at my dads house which was a mistake because I live at my moms and stay there more often.

Pros

discounted milkshakes a couple times and also free soft drink on shift

Cons

mean boss and snobby customers

Fast Paced and positive work environment

Cashier/ Teammate (Former Employee) – Orillia, ON – 18 December 2018

Typically working night and closing shifts, Harveys allowed me to gain experience in both kitchen and customer service aspects of the hospitality industry. Given the responsibilities of handling money and closing the front of the restaurant, Harveys allowed me to better my skills while working in a professional team setting

Pros

discounts, flexible work schedule

Nice people not very organized or efficient

Cashier (Former Employee) – Windsor, ON – 28 November 2018

Technology seriously needs to be updated. Higher level supervisors are very sweet and understanding, although the scheduling needs to start being sent out electronically, and payment shouldn't have to be done only through RBC.
