Pros

You get paid. There's a weekly chance to win a $25 McD gift card. Summer hours got extended to cover 9 months - they did that just before announcing there would be no bonus. Yeah, it's hard to get the 20 word minimum for Pros.

Cons

McD's is transitioning to a "highly outsourced business model" many non-core departments such as IT, Shared Services, Legal. So carefully consider coming here as a worker bee (not a director level).

Pros

Depending on your manager's mood, you may get flexible hours or alternative work arrangements. They've eroded health benefits, support services, and eliminated just about every other meaningful benefit. They won't even buy you a McDonalds lunch, if they schedule a meeting over the lunch hour.

Cons

Easterbrook is only focused on delivering shareholder value. He does it at the expense of employees, and begrudgingly for customers.

Pros

With my experience, the work a crew member is very simple. My managers were flexible with scheduling hours, if you needed to change your breaks or switch shifts with another coworker, they were able to work something out. We also get paid weekly which is nice.

Cons

You have to be really patient with your coworkers and with customers, stress and simply rude people come with the job. It can be stressful because the work is fast paced, so you be sure to stay attentive.
