  • I receive support from my training provider who keeps in touch often and is always on hand if I need any extra help. I have had to ask quite a few questions regarding tasks I am unsure of and they get in touch within a couple of hours to explain what I need to do.

  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
  • I feel I will understand workforce management and the diversity side of the company more and be able to work more with the business manager to employ the correct people for the company rather than hiring because we are struggling.

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


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because it is a great company to work for and they look after their staff. I have asked lots of family and friends to work at McDonalds as it is good to work around children and the money is good. Holidays and benefits are on par with any company.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
  • Use the website, answer honestly, have good availability and a good sense of direction. Be positive and willing to work hard.
