Pros

A good reason a person would want to work for McDonald's is that it doesn't require any previous training. Every skill needed to perform your job properly is taught on-site. McDonald's also offers very flexible work hours, and it is generally easy to negotiate time-off without too many problems.

Cons

Though it may be fair for the industry, the pay is not nearly sufficient. The only people this kind of work is good for are those who are not primary bread-winners for their households. Also, some of the management will not hesitate to sacrifice fairness to employees for success of the business. People are often treated unfairly and completely ignored in order to achieve some insignificant goal.

Pros

You learn a lot working with people from many different backgrounds. You also have to deal with many customers....you leanr a lot about people every single day. I belive the pay for some of the employees is very fair. THe leadership of the company seems to do a very good job. Most things roll out very smoothly and the field service people work hard to keep stores in line. THe brand image is as sharp as ever and seems to be improving with time.

Cons

The pay for hourly and store managers are low. Most assistant managers are in line. Also, salaried managers should recieve some type of compensation for overtime.
