Wendy's Employee Reviews

free food but toxic management and fast paced, just like your average fast food job…friendly environment and people but had to quit for other personal reasons

Not supportive

Cashier/Customer Service (Former Employee) - Whitby, ON - 29 November 2023

Wasn't appreciated and was treated badly. Didn't feel happy going into work knowing I'm going to be treated badly. Left the job due to self respect....

Not accommodating, unfair management

Wendy's Crew Member (Former Employee) - Garson, ON - 28 November 2023

This is the worst job I’ve ever worked at. Management is a joke. You have to fight in able to get a break and even when you do it’s interrupted multiple times. They will cut hours if you ever are sick, need time off, or need accommodations. Very hostile environment and extremely stressful.

Pros

15% off food

Cons

bad management

Decent teenage job

Crew Member (Former Employee) - Stoney Creek, ON - 20 November 2023

Worked for Wendy’s during my high school years. Lots of turnover, and you will work every position in the restaurant. Eventually you will be placed where you are most effective. Grill is the best, sandwiches is not as fun. Driver through is good if you have a chill manager. Management is pretty bad except for a few managers. Overall not bad, what you expect. Easy income while in school until you want to move on.

Pros

25% of lunch, chill workers and some managers

Cons

Hard to book off shifts, management, can be either really slow or crazy busy

Decent spot to start at as a stepping stone

Supervisor (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 16 November 2023

You work too many hours for weak pay at it does help as a stepping stone if you wish to stay in the restaurant industry. There’s also good advancement opportunities

Awesome first job

Employee (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 15 November 2023

Had a blast working here for 6 years from the age of 15. It was a hard job and had to hustle but always felt like I was in a second family when I came to work. My boss was amazing.

Fun if you're in highschool

Employee (Former Employee) - Vernon, BC - 7 November 2023

Met all my best friends there and it was fun while it lasted. Got bullied and creeped on by a couple co workers and management didn't do anything about.

Ok job if you want to work hard and maybe learn something

Crew Member (Current Employee) - London, ON - 27 October 2023

There probably isn't anything positive to say at this point. I have worked here out of a need to obtain a job quickly. But it is getting tiresome after an extended run. The need to work with people who actually care about the food they serve was important to me but not to many others I worked with. Eventually caring about the entire job just became futile. The ability to manage work/home was used against me in scheduling.A good job if you want to work hard for nothing and are a student.

Pros

discounted food while working

Cons

no raises or performance appraisals

Good first job

Grill Cook (Former Employee) - Gibsons, BC - 25 October 2023

It was a good first job when I was a kid. I like the burgers and a lot of my friends worked there. Would recommend it to other teenagers. The opener was not super nice and told me to cut my hair
