Pros

Team work is key. Plan to Win is a great strategic document where everyone is focused. People are friendly. Take pride in the fact that McD's wants to do what is right.

Cons

Salary and benefits are just average. Workload can be tough. Restaurants are open 24 / 7 so issues can happen at any time. McD's is a target for all issues.

Pros

Conveniece and a good work experience. Usually, there are several people working whom you can talk to during slow periods or breaks, which can make work a lot less depressing. Because you do so many different things, finding a second job after his one is a much easier feat.

Cons

Overworked compared to other kinds of food retailers. Since it's a fast food restaurant, everything is fast paced and leaves very little time for any type of leisure - many managers will yell at you for not working even for a moment.

Pros

It was a great opportunity to work at while still in high school. Though it wasn't perhaps the best job out there, I think it really taught me a lot about working hard and added to my leadership skills. I also enjoyed to flexibility. At any given time (perhaps it helped that I was a very good worker) I could work at many hours as I wanted (40) or as little as I wanted (take the week off for whatever reason). I also had a choice on when I wanted to work on the weekend and in the summers (mornings, days or nights).

Cons

Just some of the people you worked with. You can work with some really weird staff people. For the most part management was alright, however, some can also be a bit abnormal.
