High-energy and fast paced job.

Cashier (Former Employee) – Ajax, ON – 6 April 2018

Working at Popeyes gave me good kitchen and customer service experience. it was a very fast-paced job that required extremely long hours of work, and constant energy throughout the shift. The worst part of the job was always serving customers past store hours; you never got out on time.

A very good place to work.

Customer Service Representative (Current Employee) – Saskatchewan – 18 March 2018

Working at Popeye's is a really good idea. the people are friendly and the competitive environment is always there. They care for their workers and at the same time, they care for the company.

Would not recommend this job

Cashier (Current Employee) – Toronto, ON – 23 February 2018

The only reason I am continuing to work at popeyes is because I get good hours. If i didn't get good hours, i would quit in a heartbeat because the management is absolutely TERRIBLE. The restaurant is so disorganized, unprofessional, and pretty disgusting. Some of my coworkers (including managers) fail to understand basic hygiene and never wear hair nets or wash their hands. I have also noticed many instances of cross contamination. Most of the staff is brown and there are only two other white people and we are constantly discriminated against. They never speak english around us even when calling orders to the cook and talking about work related topics. I would not recommend working here to anyone.

best fast food store if you are looking for chicken.

Cashier/Cook (Current Employee) – Mississauga, ON – 17 February 2018

Working in the popeyes is not that easy as it looks because we have to mantain a high quality level of the companies goodwill, if we talk about the management its the best among all stores and the most enjoyable part of the job is that the business environment is awesome.

Honestly, I'm not happy with this job. This is my first ever job.

FRONT CASHIER/SERVICE CREW (Current Employee) – Calgary, AB – 11 February 2018

*Hardest part of the job is dealing with our manager who is so grouchy arghhh.
*I don't like the management because most of the time they are sending employees to go home early. Mostly, are those students who just work part-time, and I find it unfair because I'm one of them. The reason that they have said is that the labor is too high. They're just giving me 5 hours in my shift every friday and saturday, and sometimes they still cut my hours. That is not fair.
*A typical day at work is just greeting the guests, serving them, take the order, pack their order, clean the lobby etc. Repetitive tasks.

Pros

50% off for small meals.15% for family, 10% for friends. Free drinks.

Cons

The hours they are giving me are not enough.

Pros

Free food

Cons

No shifts
