Pros

good first step towards employement, you are put in alot of different environments and learn to deal with volumes of ppl coming thru the doors and ensuring how to take care of them really well individually as well as ensurign you meet your goals set out by managers. Turnover is high so tons of oppurtunity to move up but do not do it as an expense to your school work bc some managers will force upon you that you should drop out of school n become a manager and make money. Its not worth it in the long run and ppl need to be aware of such things

Cons

people not showing up to work

Pros

-Flexible hours- unlike some other places I hear of, you don't work really long hours -Employee discounts -Job experience -Easy to get hired- they're always hiring, mainly - good/ okay entry level job for students- this is important when you can't get a job anywhere else, as this doesn't require too many special skills

Cons

-the fast food industry is kind of stressful- you have to be *fast* -the overall environment of food -minimum wage pay -Not a long term job. Working part-time is okay, but this isn't a viable long-term job to support yourself on.

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
