Pros

Easy job, nice coworkers, friendly enviorment. Pay is not good; however, the customers can sometimes be fun and entertaining. It is close to home so I do not have to drive very far. Somtimes my boss even picks me up if the weather is bad or something. I am able to eat free food and or get discountsw for my friends and family members. They will encourage you to go to the McDonalds school that they offer. It teaches you about manager opportunities. I do not want to be a manager but I think the classes are okay and good for some that would be interested.

Cons

The biggest downside is the pay.; It is hard to pay my bills with little pay, They only pay minimum wage and it is not very nice to pay such a low wage. Not a lot of room for advancement, you do not need a college opportunity to work for mcdonalds; however, it is preetty much a dead end job. You won't end up being an important part of the company as you spend a lot of time learning about hamburgers instead of advancing your career and moving forward. It somtimes really isnt worth it, but it is easy work, so the pay and advancement opportunites shoulod be expected gto be high.

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.
