      Pros

      My biggest reason for working there as long as I have is the hours and flexibility. If I need off an entire weekend, I get it. If I need off a whole week, I can get that too. If I can only work for 4 hours a day or want to work 10, I basically get anything I need to get. Because they're open for 16 hours a day, there is a huge window of available shifts.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible as can be expected, working with people who don't care because it's "just McDonald's," customers who treat you like you're a lower being. Overall, I think the stigma associated with working at McDonald's is one of its biggest downfalls.

      Pros

      Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

      Cons

      Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
