      Pros

      Free food, great learning experience, decent treatment of employees

      Work can be dirty and clothes/hair smell, pay is not that great, not a long term career, not something to be too proud of.

      Pros

      If you are looking for a boost into management experience straight out of high school without college experience then Mcdonalds is a great place to start. They offer great advancement opportunities if you are dedicated and they train will train you in their management program. The management program is very extensive and ultimately translates into college credits once you have gone through a few of the classes.

      Cons

      At the store level the managers only take one or two classes and often are more efficient in the paperwork and numbers side of managing but not as skilled when it comes to dealing with the employees. Also, you'll be hard pressed to find a store in which the managers and/or employees take all of the policies seriously so you'll often times see ineffective people holding positions that they are not qualified to work. In other words, there needs to be some Human Resources reform at the store level.
