Flexibility

"McDonald's has supported me throughout my studies, they're flexible with their approach."

Transcript

[00:01] Working at McDonald's is helpful to

[00:04] me as a university student because it's flexible.

[00:11] The flexibility as well is very good. I do currently have a set day off

[00:14] where I'm able to go and see my brothers hang out with them in

[00:17] town be able to do something fun with them as I don't live with them anymore.

[00:20]I do quite like flexibility.

[00:25] I'd say how McDonald's has supported me throughout my studies is always

[00:28] flexible with their approach like if I need to work less hours

[00:31] they adjust to that and if we need to work more hours they also

[00:34] adjust to that.

[00:01] McDonald's has helped me feel like I can be myself because

[00:04] everyone's accepting of who you are and who

[00:07] you decide to be and there's

[00:10] no judgment. You can definitely be yourself at McDonald's. Yeah.

[00:15] When new crew members come in we'll always guide them

[00:18]through what our expectation is what targets we

[00:21] need to reach today will always encourage them.

[00:25] To have received the employee of the year award was all the

[00:28] hard work I did and it's just nice to see them McDonald's shows like

[00:31] support and appreciates all the

[00:34]hard work you do in the restaurants.

[00:37]My first day in the store, I was introduced to the manager who

[00:40]showed me what exactly I'll be doing. He was very reassuring we

[00:43]went through it together. It relaxed me

[00:46]so much.

"There's a role for almost anybody."

Transcript

[00:01] Back when I started, um, at McDonald's, I was very quiet,

[00:04] very withdrawn, very within myself.

[00:06] As soon as I went on the overnights

[00:07]got to know the people on the overnight,

[00:09]I pretty much sprouted into who I am today.

[00:15]We are really keen to develop people

[00:17]to be the best that they can be.

[00:19]As long as you, as an individual wants progression

[00:22]and training, there's, there's plenty of opportunities

[00:25]to develop yourself professionally.

[00:31]McDonald's as a company really has a great

[00:33]program for anybody to progress.

[00:34]I started as crew and worked my way up

[00:36]to manager within a year and a half.

[00:38]The team is a very good team to work for. I really enjoy.

[00:42]I, I think it's the best job I've ever had

[00:43]because it's so rewarding.
