      I worked at Tim Hortons part-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Discounts on food, free coffee, friendly staff! Very good with taking time off as long as you ask for it ahead of time and put it in the system

      Cons

      You end up eating too many donuts since they're left over! Some customers are rude before getting their coffee. People can be very particular

      Advice to Management

      Great with training

      I have been working at Tim Hortons part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      They start you out at minimum and you get a raise after a year. Earn vacation with average hours in the first year. They start health insurance, if you can afford it. They work you a minimum about of hours.

      Cons

      You are not given a raise after a probational period as an incentive. And your raises are minimal, 15 cent for a hard, dedicated, dependable worker for a years service? Then at times, you hire individuals on full-time but given them less than 20 hours a week. How is anyone to live and keep a roof over their heads, plus expenses that come with a roof? Then there is not being able to afford health insurance, which is required.

      Advice to Management

      I would evaluate the whole operation. Managers need to manage their teams, not be friends. Assistant Managers need more authority, like being able to write an individual up for a breach in policies, procedures, or customer complaints, or insubordination. And be taught to manage a team in an efficient manner. Supervisors should be trained as if they were an assistant manager. The system of operations needs altering, like the assigning of chores throughout shifts. Individuals need to assigned to stations, not let them choose where they work. More authority needs to be exercised. It's a business, not a family or friend's get together.

    6. "Tim Hortons Review"

      StarStarStarStarStar
      Current Employee - Anonymous Employee

      Pros

      Flexible scheduling(especially good for students) , advancement opportunities(becoming a supervisor or manager isn't too difficult if you're good at your job), discounted lunches before during and immediately after your shift

      Cons

      The company tends to care more about the bottom line than workers opinions even when they're money saving ideas. Coming in during the overnight shift I'd frequently find the showcase full of food. A good $2,500 per week is probably wasted keeping food items "well stocked" in case someone from corporate walks in.

      Entry level position, so often my co-workers were very unprofessional or not able to take the work seriously.
