Pros

It's a good place for students to make a couple of bucks while they're in high school. Additionally, they are very flexible with scheduling (although I think this is mostly due to lack of an option as the other working conditions leave much to be desired). There are also decent incentives for full-time employees. Finally, McDonalds' teaches excellent lessons in stress management, time management, and flexibility for newbies on the job frontier, which will prove valuable in other jobs.

Cons

It's not the best place for people who can't move a million miles an hour. Also, there's the whole fact that it's McDonalds. Additionally, you leave work every day reeking of french fries.

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.
