Pros

One the few reasons I have found myself still working there is due solely because of the people that work there. McDonalds has a good work environment with your other employees and the coworkers are usually closeknit (I've worked at three different locations, each for about a year). The jobs fun if you can have fun with the people you work with.

Cons

Its customer food service, as always your experience working here will be based on the types of customers that you get daily and how you manage to handle customer interactions.

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.
