Pros

McDonalds offers very flexible hours. McDonalds is great for students or stay at home mothers who want to work a couple hours while the kids are at school. Communication between management and crew is outstanding. There is no confusion about any of the products sold. For example, there is a 10 page book on how to make a yogurt paret. Compensation was above minimum wage, and there was a health plan that cost about $40 a month. Managers get one week vacation a year. Employees are constantly recognized for hard work with pins for their tie, gift cards to retail stores, and crew parties.

Cons

Low pay and working with people who do not speek English

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.
