      Pros

      You know what you are getting into. It's minimum wage and they don't sugarcoat that. You get discounts on the food so if you're a fan, then you're in good shape. If you get assigned to a good location, then cleanliness is less of an issue.

      Cons

      Most of the customers are rude and demeaning towards the employees. The bathrooms at older McDonald's can get really disgusting. You feel oily and grimy after working a shift there. Your manager can sometimes be a total buffoon. Working the late shift is a real drag. Your coworkers may not be the sharpest tools in the shed.

      Pros

      Mc Donalds gets a lot of customers, so you won't be bored at the front. Somewhat good communication between co-workers.

      Cons

      I do not see very many good reasons to work for this place, the benefits are terrible, and minimum wage is definitely not enough for an assisstant manager. However, if you're a fast food addict or something then this is the place for you. The workplace environment is very crummy, disgusting, and unsanitary. I'm talking about some employees who haven't washed their hands after returning from a trip to the bathroom despite the huge sign that tells them to. I have even seen this problem among the senior management at the franchise that I currently work at. Overall, I would not work here again.

      Overworked and Underpaid

      Pros

      Its a job, good at times and bad at others. I like doing what I do but after crew members repeditly call in or just plain do not listen and management does nothing or just lets them slide it gets a little tireing. All in all I like working at McDonalds it just needs to pay more...

      Cons

      Overworked at times and always underpaid. I can go get a job at say...Wal*Mart as a CSS and starting pay is more then i'm making at the moment. Only reason I know this is because I am a manger at a Walmart McDonalds.
