Pros

McDonalds is a great place to work at if you are looking for a first job or you just want to pick up some money on the side. The McDonalds I worked at had a mix of teenagers, retired persons, moms who wanted to make some extra money and a couple crew members who were career McDonalds employees. I learned a lot about working hard and had a pretty good store management team. A big benefit was that our pay was decent, better than retail.

Cons

Some people look down on working at McDonalds and you always need to take a shower after you finish working.

Pros

Great benefits. You put in 5% to 401K and they match with 7%. Eight week paid sabatical every 10 years. Annual bonus and profit sharing average $10-12K per year. Great quality of life. Leadership looks out for you.

Cons

Company is perceived by others as a "funny" place to work.

Pros

There arent any really- its the origin of the term McJob for a reason. If you are really in a pinch then its not a horrible place, and if you wanted to make something of it you could, im sure, but it was not a position for me.

Cons

Poor management, high turnover- often times there would be new folks through the door who were barely trained which would gum up the works when it was rush hour in the afternoon or evening. Morning hours were the worst (obviously) because half the time the folks who closed up at night didnt do a good job and nothing was where it was supposed to be.
