Pros

It gets you money while you are in college. Also, not much skill required but I will say this: it can be rather monotonous and stressfull working drive-thru. McDonalds has great tasting food( if you dont mind trading tasty food for a few inches on your thighs and a pair of love handles). But you should work for McDonald's because it can be fun at times and you can make some friends there.

Cons

Drive-thru is stressful and you have to be mentally prepared to handle dissatisfied customers.

Pros

The work life balance was very helpful to me and helped me manage the many things going on in my life. the department was great and was filled with very competent people who did high quality work. The people were the best part of the job; there was a lot of respect between coworkers and managers.

Cons

It is a huge company. That can be a positive or a negative. The downside of it being a huge company is that you can be looked at as a little fish in a big sea. Some times it was hard to be recognized for superior work because there was just so many people there.

Pros

Good camaraderie, really had some good friends. Good solid job, quite easy work most of the time, enjoyed knowing what I'd be doing each day. I enjoyed the area I was in and the hours were fine for me - you know when you'll be needed and you can usually work around that. The leadership was good in my store but I know it can vary from store to store. There was respect amongst colleagues but they were my friends so you hope so!! Morale was not always the best but it got better on Fridays!

Cons

Cleaning aspects, and dealing with difficult customers. Once or twice a day usually there was a customer who clearly looked down on the work you were doing but most of the time they were fine I guess.
