Pros

The only thing that I can say I liked was getting free food. I also liked that it was very close to my house.

Cons

The manager spoke really bad broken english. Durning the end of the day there was nothing to do; the customers were gone, everything was stocked up and everything was clean, but I still got yelled at for just standing there. Everytime I had a day off I would get called in to work. Even though I felt like I was working a lot, I got paided very little, I never got a paycheck over $100. The managers were rude and most of the employees always acted like McDonalds was a jail. The customers were always rude.

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.
