Your vibe and experience
While experience in food service or retail—whether as a barista, server, cashier, or team member—is helpful, what matters most is who you are. Previous McDonald’s experience is not required — we provide a comprehensive training program to set you up for success. However, managerial experience is preferred.
You lead by example, hold yourself and your team to high standards, and continuously raise the bar. When challenges arise, you approach them with confidence and an eye for solutions. Above all, you know that putting people first creates a positive culture, which leads to happier, more engaged staff, and ultimately, a better experience for your guests.
About us
Since 1954, McDonald's has been a global leader in foodservice, but our story began on Vancouver Island in 1967, where we opened our first McDonald's location in Canada. As a locally owned and operated group of restaurants, we are proud to be an integral part of the Vancouver Island community. Our commitment to quality, value, and local impact drives everything we do.
At McDonald's Canada and our locally owned restaurants, we are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace. We believe in providing fair, equitable, and accessible opportunities for all our employees and prospective employees. Accommodations are available upon request during the application process.
Join us, and become part of a family that truly cares about our people, our community, and making a difference every day.
