"As an HR Manager living and working in London, when people ask about my job, I explain that I enable Wendy’s international markets to grow and expand through People – from planning and finding to coaching and developing. I grew up in the United States, which is where I began my career journey with Wendy’s. In 2021, I was offered a temporary HR assignment to support the brand’s expansion into the UK. That assignment eventually became permanent, and I loved it here so much that I moved to London to continue supporting the market. Since then, I’ve met my (now) husband and built a whole life I could never have imagined. This new life started with an opportunity from Wendy’s, and I’ll be forever grateful for this experience. Human Resources is a complex discipline, because people are complex. Then when you layer in other cultures and norms, my job deals me new challenges every day. I really like proving to myself that I can do difficult things well and nail it on the first try. People really are the magic at Wendy’s. We are a magnet for values-driven people who want to do things the right way and win the right way as a team. We're also a friendly bunch, but make no mistake – we're super competitive too! Being a Wendy’s brand ambassador comes with quite a bit of responsibility. Whether I’m interviewing a job candidate or meeting new people who could become customers, I have an opportunity to shape Wendy’s reputation as we become more of a household name abroad. And I love that!" Jen Mellor, Manager, HR
Good Morning everyone Im writing this comment hoping that a representative from HR will get back to me. I think Wendy’s is a phenomenal business however the store I am employed at…..lets just say they aren’t representing the brand name at all in the way you would imagine and I think they would like to hear from me about a situation. Cant get through to them for whatever reason (may be because I got the number from the break room) nonetheless I DONT WANT TO LOSE MY JOB PLEASE🙈🙏🏾
My name is Dan, I am a crew trainer in Warner Robins, GA. Greetings from across the big pond! My first restaurant job at 17 was in 1977. I am old school, traditional values. I work harder than most people, says everyone who has worked with me. I have been with Wendy's since 2008, I have worked in four franchises and two states. Every place is a learning experience, and the deep learning produces wisdom! Remember that every situation you come upon is about 10% situation, and 90% how we react. I have three mottos: 1. Safety First, there is no other way. 2. Preventing bad things saves time, pain, and money in the long run. 3. Be the answer 4. Tell someone what to do, and teach them to do it, they get smarter. Also telling them why we do it and why we don't do certain things makes them not only smart, but wise, then they master the task. I would love to come to the mother country, England! I am hoping all your bottom lines are the best and all your hires are worthwhile!
You guys coming to Dublin up the Dubs
Wendy’s has ruined their hamburgers. They need a better tasting bun and juicier beef.
It sounds like you have found a fulfilling role at Wendy's in London, Jen. Your dedication to fostering growth through people is commendable, and it's clear that you take pride in representing the brand with integrity and enthusiasm. Best wishes for your continued success in shaping Wendy's reputation abroad!
Jen Mellor as our British friends say, “you’re a legend!” 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Love working with you and keep rocking it in the UK!
Moving forward!
So honored to know you and work with you!
I would be a good asset to any company
2wI live in Louisiana and worked at Wendy's almost a year. His on a food prep@full time.i loved Ajay I did but then my mngr. Started adding jobs for me to do. In one shift, I clocked in did my food preparation, then clean lobby, count my drawer for front counter, stock my front area the stocked the dinning area on top of that clean the restrooms, washed dishes then if the window needed help I had to jump over there while keeping watch on the front counter. I was over worked, under paid, only white person employee at that store and there was so much drama, other employees allowed to work after drinking alcohol and doing drugs on premises. Was not as Profesional as I thought and deserve to work at. It needs better mngrs and asst. management.
