Crew Member

Wendy's Crew Member

Families come in all shapes and sizes. And that includes the Wendy's family - the people you work with as a Wendy's Crew Member. The stuff you want - like fun people, quality food, a schedule to meet your needs, and a paycheck - done. Our founder Dave Thomas had three rules for everyone who works here: Do the right thing. Treat people with respect. Make food better than they'd expect from a fast food place. No doubt you do the first two already. We can teach you the third!
