Pros

To learn great people skills, Accounting, and most of all it's a building block for future jobs. If you can't make it here you can't make it anywhere. McDonald's opens allot of doors it's not just flipping burgers and cooking fries. It's a starting job for everyone. It's basic so anyone can do it .It's up to you how far you wanna take it. I wish so much for a office job at first but now i can't wait what's in store for me. Maybe one day i will own my own business ,and McDonald's have taught me trade secrets to keep my store going and whatever venture i choose, to keep it profitable which it 's not just clowns and burger it's business. Who else to learn from but one of the biggest venture that has graced this earth right next to Microsoft and Apple. So why not. I enjoy working at my McDonald's and can't wait to see what i can learn next and what life has in store for me. Most people find fast food beneath them but let me tell you something the dirty jobs are the best paid in this instance your getting paid with knowledge instead of cash. Look past the food and look at the cash how are they doing it. Why haven't they gone down the drain with wall street? I believe no matter what happens 10 years from now you'll still be able to buy a big mac and see McDonald's around the city. Allot of people don't get it but i have. Make money take what you can and utilize it your future bosses love money how bout you save them some and make some money doing it. Allot of people own stores or other ventures but don't have people to run it and make it profitable. Mcdonalds can teach you. Did you ever bother to listen? I did. and i expect nothing but great things in my future. Maybe with McDonald's if the moneys right.

Cons

The pay isn't as great as other jobs but if you be patient and work your way up bigger things will come your way. Work hard to be good at something you'll get better at other things.

Pros

The hours are great, the customer interaction is great, the locations are great. It is a great place to work if you are young and need a job that is not going to be your career path for life, but rather as something to get you through college.

Cons

The pay is not that great. You have to deal with rude customers sometimes. Working late nights is sometimes not that great. You smell like fried food when you get home. You are really hungry while working there due to the smell of food all day and sometimes you tend to over eat.
