Pros

There is respect for every level of employee. In other places the people that clean the bathrooms and kitchens are invisible. At McDonald's analysts and janitors actually have friendly, communicative relationships. That's impressive. I like the "peer award" system. When someone does something helpful and noteworthy, another member on the team can nominate that someone for an award. The people are genuinely nice and have a "let's all pitch in and get this done" attitude.

Cons

In an effort to be maximally productive, people sometimes churn out documents without regard for (a) who else is doing the same thing or (b) whether it serves a legitimate purpose.

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.
