Pros

McDonalds is a very great place to work, well at least in Levelland Texas. Our managers are the most trained managers in the area. Our store is known for its quality and producing the most successful employees. Almost all of the staff is committed to excellence and to provide the optimum customer experience. Us employees are treated very well and are payed to our abilities. Our owner is very generous in providing days off and he also gives us good pay. There is also an opportunity to make friends. When us employees have a issue the managers and owner take care of it promptly. This is one of the best places to work for.

Cons

There are really no down sides for working at McDonalds, well I cant think of any.

Pros

McDonald's offers and excellent benefits package including great insurance, 401k, stock purchase program, payroll deductions into a money market account, a concierge service, and a performance based bonus program. Good reputation. They provide access to large amounts of training through their Hamburger University at the headquarters in Chicago as well as a few other spots around the world.

Cons

Base pay is very low compared to similar companies. Insular culture. New employees in staff positions outside of the restaurants are viewed as interlopers. Employees act as if they are brainwashed. Promotions are given very sparingly, often taking many, many years. Minorities have a definite and recognized advantage in advancement over white employees. The staff has an average time of employment close to 20 years, making change very slow.
