Pros

Friendly daily senior citizens customers. Free drinks if you work under 7 hours Free food and drinks if you work over 8 hours. Free work uniform Paid Training Paid breaks Opportunity for advancement in management positions. Tim Horton's employee discount But if you get close with management and coworkers you'll get free food and drinks even if you did not work that day.

Cons

Biweekly pay (Every two weeks) No raises or bonuses They pay you State Minimum wage They pay Wage goes up when your state minimum wage goes up. :( Rude customers Managers will talk about you to co workers and vice versa. (Could be different at other stores) Benefits could be way better. You do everything from washing dishes to changing toilet paper even if your assigned to work at the front register or drive Thur. Which can be hectic at times. Drive Thur time clock have to be under 25 sec. You wont make that 25 sec in the morning trust me. Long lines wrapped around the corner in the morning and lunch hour. Poor employee Training Techniques. The computer does a better job than hands on training. Management don't even know what to do sometimes No break room.
