Pros

Good salary and benefits. Emphasis on training and understanding of importance of it, especially in the IT department. Emphasis on work and life balance. A lot of vacation and flexible with time off. Management was respectful at all times. Stimulating work with a lot of variety.

Cons

Often there is not enough respect for working at McDonald's. I also worked there are a teenager and I developed my good work ethic there. To this day I have never worked so hard and taken quite the same pride in a job well done. I was able to return years later and bring that same sense of pride in to a corporate position.

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.
