Pros

working at mcdonalds is and ok for a first time job you can move up quickly it's easy to get along with people.

Cons

the pay sucks for what you have to deal with people think that it's easy to work at a fast food place it is but then it's the rude ass customers and the longer you work there the unhappier you become. depending on who the store managers is working there will suck and stress is a common emotion you will be feeling while you work there

Pros

50% discount on food Flexible schedule simple hiring process (the will hire anyone) uniforms were not bad breaks were equally distributed

Cons

McDonalds is a horrible place to work period. The management had absolutely no interested in training me. My second day on the job i was expected to know how to do everything by my self without any help. My training consisted of the manager telling me to watch some girl work and watch some videos. They expected me to be up to speed with the people working there for 5+ years with barley any training. Anytime i asked a question or asked for them to show me how to do something the manager would roll her eyes and get pissed off at me. On top of that, the management was VERY rude and unrespectful making comments about how i work and criticizing. Honestly if that manager spent 1/2 the energy actually training me instead of criticizing i might have learned what i was supposed to do. I know some other people who have had bad experiences working at micky d's but also know some who have had some good experiences so you never know. Either way i would never recommend McDonalds as a place for employment believe me the pay is horrible and there are many other places to work. Luckily i only had to deal with that B.S. for a month till i found i better job.
