Pros

They are very flexible with work hours. The opportunity to move up is always there.

Cons

I've worked at two different McDonalds in my life, and my advice is not to work at one located in an upper class neighborhood. The customers are extremely snoby, picky, and very quick to complain and call corporate over the smallest problems, even if they were easily resolved. Rich people will call corporate in order to not get charged for there bbq sauce. In lower class neighborhoods, they are completely understanding to the struggles you may come across. Cooler customers = less stress.

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
