Pros

The best reason to work here is as a first-job, or a short-term summer thing to make some extra money. The pro's are that there are mccdonald's on every corner.

Cons

Food industry can be harsh -- customers can be rude. Working in the kitchen can get hot.

Pros

Decent bonuses, great crew, profit sharing, free food, and that's about it for any pro's of working at mcdonalds imo.

Cons

60+ hours/week, low pay, poor communication between management and employees, all crew are considered numbers and a means to get paid more, expected to do everything for low pay, upper management is very buddy buddy. If you displease one person, expect to be blacklisted.

Pros

The atmosphere is always busy which makes the day go by fast. Also there is variety as I never work the same position two days in a row.

Cons

The pay is awful. The scheduling is awful (some days I'll close at 1 or 2 in the morning and have to be there to open at 4). Some customers are rude and treat us like we're all idiots because of where we work. A few of our assistant managers aren't very good (they insist we get the order out as fast as possible and say they don't care if it's correct or everything is in there because they have to meet the time deadline even if it means more work later).
