A Great Start
Hundreds of thousands of Canadians got their first job experience working behind the counter or in the kitchens and drive-thrus of McDonald’s. They chose McDonald’s for all kinds of reasons. Regardless of why they joined or how long they stayed, a first job at McDonald’s has served as a springboard to exciting and diverse careers for many successful Canadians. It’s a great start.
Positioned for Success
For employees who decide to build a career at McDonald’s, the growth opportunities are outstanding. A prime example is John Betts, McDonald’s Canada’s President and CEO, who began his career as McDonald’s crew person. His success story is common at McDonald’s Canada – there are incredible career opportunities available and we are committed to promoting from within for all our employees.
The Pathway to Management
Having energetic and motivated people join our team is the best way to realize our goal of building an exciting future together. Managing a McDonald’s restaurant is a challenging task, so we have a comprehensive Management Development Program which provides a formal training program for employees who move through the hierarchy to Restaurant Manager. At each level, your hands-on training will be supplemented with classroom training.
