Customer service (Former Employee), Sarnia, ON – May 25, 2012
I really enjoyed working at Tim Hortons. The things I learned on a day to day basis were incredible. I learned everything from communication skills to cleaning toilets at this restaurant. Management was very organized and helpful, as well as my co-workers. The hardest part of the job was training on the computers, but everyone was quick to help, and – more... i was even quicker to learn. I really enjoyed working in a social place and learning so much about hospitality and respect. – less
Associate Leader/Baker (Former Employee), Napanee, ON – May 23, 2012
Pros: free food, new friends
Cons: long hours, no breaks, no days off, lack of management
The job was challenging because we were usually understaffed but usually we found a way to make it work and it was fun because there was always something to do. I got to know the customers and they quickly became regulars which was the most rewarding part of the job. I made friends and got to meet new people all the time. Management needs work. My co-workers – more... were great i always had fun when i went to work because everyone was so easy going and it made the day go smoothly when everyone was having a good time, granted everyone had a bad day once in a while but its part of the job and we move on and roll with it and hopefully learn from our mistakes. The hardest part of the job was not being able to go to management about problems because they weren't interested, which resulted in a lot of issues between people that could have easily been avoided had the managers chose to "manage" the situations. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know people and hear the stories, make new friends, going through a day quickly because it was busy and I was learning new things all the time. I am always open to learning new things, esspecially if its something I can do hands-on. – less

Cons: have to pay for food, rude customers, no ac
ever since i started working at Tim Hortons i have enjoyed my time spent there and i have made tons and tons of friends some who are still working with me right now and some that have left. The management i work under is superb wouldn't want any other but i have to move on, my typical day at work starts either at 7am or 3pm and then the rush starts – more... i have to wake my self up to cope with the peoples crazy orders at 7am but its fun, not always but when people are nice it just makes your day better, i have lots of fun at Tims because most of the people i work with are roughly around my age group so it makes my day go by really fast. I have worked there for about 4 years now and i have done every job in that place from drive thru to deli to baking to supervising and to even painting the whole store. i have learned alot from that place and i have met some really interesting people some who have had a big impact in my life and some i rather not remember but all in all its been a fun 4 years. – less
Good place once you work under the right management
Crew (Former Employee), Redford, MI – May 19, 2012
I learned to breathe and how to move and help people. The hardest part was when the guest was angry and i just couldn't help them, They just were not happy and didn't let me fix it.

Customer Service Employee (Former Employee), Mississauga, ON – May 16, 2012
The job mainly involves interactions with others, whether it's a team member or customers. Another main job is preparation of foods and beverages. The most important lessons I have learnt have been communication, team-work and working under pressure. Given a good management and proper work ethic, coupled with the right kind of people around you, Tim – more... Horton's was not only efficiently run but also a fun environment to be a part of. – less
Assistant manager (Former Employee), Williamsville, NY – May 16, 2012
I would have to be there at 5 30 am and work a ten hour day. I liked working with the people however the long days really did take a toll on my home life. I never really was awake or energetic by the time i got home. I loved meeting new people and getting to know the customers. The pay was good but the benefits were not. I have learned alot and will – more... bring that with me where ever i may go! – less
