  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • i usually get to work and often go into the kitchen at work on the line. finishing, initiating or dressing. i’m on these normally because i currently have wrist problems which makes batching in kitchen hurt a lot. though where i go is up to the shift manager. i assemble the food and keep the station clean

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • i like the program so far. it’s going to further extend my knowledge and my learning coach is very nice and said she will try to adapt to my needs and learning methods/styles. i’ve been reassured throughout it all and the website i do the work on is easy to use

  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
  • we have meetings for the sections of the programs. they can be done online and in person which is very helpful. i am given as much information as i’m allowed and as much help as i can get. so i would say quite a bit of support from them

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • i feel that my qualification helps me perform my role better by giving me extra information and different angles to think from which changes my point of view. it gives me extra information to work from and helps me think differently and work differently from people at work who haven’t done it

  • 9a. Would you recommend McDonald's to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • mcdonald’s is a good place to work at. some others in the country will be different and hold different experiences but my workplace in particular is a fair equal comfortable environment. the managers are nice and accommodating and even when it’s busy and extremely stressful, nothing seriously bad can happen when you’re panicking


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
  • just go for it. don’t be worried about not knowing certain things or messing up because you will get taught those things and you have a probation period. the worst thing that can happen is you mess up and find out it’s not for you. they accommodate to your needs
