Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
3/5
Managing the team, setting and achieving targets, upholding safety and food safety practices, improving the over all training of the crew and crew trainers
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
2/5
I enjoy learning more about the business and how I can impact on this
Skills Development

How to improve training, how to be a better leader
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The online learning aspect is organised well
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I get a shift a week most of the time to complete my learning but they haven’t been told how they can support me and what information I need from them. Whenever I ask for help they always try to do so to the best of their ability
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
Not a lot, I’ve done it pretty much in my own. The most I’ve had is a mock multiple choice test and a logbook to fill out for my professional discussion
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I’ve learned more about the financial aspect of the business
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
We have a crew party a couple times a year
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend McDonald's to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Yes if they were looking for a foundation to gain skills and then move into a career more suited for them
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
Turn up for your shifts, if you need help ask, if you want trained elsewhere just ask. It is an immature environment a lot of the time which is great for making friends and enjoying working but you need to be able to complete tasks and be aware of targets
