      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.

      Pros

      Its easy to get in. They train you. I just needed money for school. The job is only as good as the manager. The manager was OK, which was good. He didn't yell alot. I been in other jobs where the manager yells. The food is really OK. I eat it anyway.

      Cons

      The air is really greasy in the back. I had to wash my hair so much it got frizzy. I don't think you can avoid that. The customers. Some of them were really rude. You don't get tips there. The pay is low and it would be nice to have tips.

      Pros

      there are no really good reason to work at mcdonalds. you either work there cause you have no paper. most of my co workers like 90 percent have no paper they work there cause they dont do good back ground check. and people who have papers hours get cut cause its so much easier to control someone without paper then it would to a citzen. my boss yells at my crew in a nasty mean way sometimes and they cant do anything back cause they are scare of losing their job. but then again they dont pay taxes which weakness work ecomany. less money for schools ect...

      Cons

      there is alot wrong with this company like. the fact that if your new they just throw you in like without any standerd/basic training. and you are expected to learn everything in a few short hours being thats its a fast food company. but this type of mangenment creats a downfall in the stores porformace of fast food and clean quality food. cause some people even forget to wash their hands which nasty as hell. and stress is created cause the older workers feel that the new workers bring them down in proformace. you also lose hours cause MOST of the worker work their with false papers or other family members papers. which the store manger perferes them cause their easier to control and boss around while they get minium pay for 2 years. its an outrage!
