Tim Hortons Reviews

Pros

Well known Canadian company with a positive work climate and lots of opportunity for growth. Good benefits and lots of strong community efforts by the company

Cons

Long hours and a high level of stress in the job sometimes. Hard to balance work and life working for this company.

Pros

-Well organized (we always had stock)
-Schedule in advance
-Safe work environment
-Reliable paycheck
-Good communication with management
-Free sandwhich on each shift.

Cons

-overworked, you are expected to make things within target times (ie. Egg salad sandwhich in 20 seconds), you had to work so much
-managers were hired from outside the company, and they didn't have the experience to manage.
-customers are often rude, yell at you.

Advice to Senior Management

- Promote from within the company! Experienced supervisors and managers work out the best.
- Improve pay, give raises to long term staff

Pros

It's good for people who has no experience and or immigrant who doesn't speak much english.
It's also a recognized company that will help you get some local experience.

Cons

It depends on location, but the store I worked in had really high volume customers and it was exhausting. No much raise either.

Pros

fun nice people - great environment

Cons

long hours but worth it

Advice to Senior Management

keep it up and keep doing what you are doing because it is going well so far. great job

Pros

Small, close environment. I work at a Franchise location in the US, so we get raises every 6 months, they are not very high, but way better than most other food chains who do not give raises at all. Your clothes do not smell like grease.

Cons

Advancement is scarce. Customers can be difficult.

Pros

most coworkers are good to work with
time management is easy
free food

Cons

poor management
coworkers not much of a teamworker

Pros

it's a entry level for everyone

Cons

It's fast food environment, you always have to fast and fast.

Pros

The other employees I had the pleasure of working with were amazing. I've met some of my life long friends through this job. It's also made me appreciate how hard I have to work to earn things in life.

Cons

Management is the biggest issue. They are not trained on how to properly manage a store. They take employees work ethic for granted and only criticize, they don't help you improve.

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees better. You need to motivate them. For a lot of people this is their first job ever, you need to work with them, not talk at them.

Pros

Great staff discount on products
Good products

Cons

Advice to Senior Management

Please make a point to provide new employees with better training.
