      McDonald's is not meant for a career

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      -The benefits and pay are the best in Bloomington-Normal for the restaraunt industry.- -Can be a fun environment to work in if the management team is supportive.

      Cons

      -Incompetence is rapant for the management and regular employee staff. -Training is inadequate after the first steps of becoming management. Continued training and development is not valued. -Upper level management treats employees as expendable. -If sick, do not expect a warm reception of your illness from the management. -Organization is a joke. Communication is often a chain of yelling instead of helpful contructive feedback meant for development.

      Simple job for student experience

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Needed a job as a teenager to save up for post secondary school. McD's helped me to develop some solid interpersonal and team work skills. Usually working in a fast paced environment also improved my abilities to make quick decisions. They also had a contest for essay writing in which the winner was rewarded a tuition scholarship. I never participated, but thought it was a pretty cool idea. Food was also offered at a 50% discount for all employees which came in handy during breaks. The freedom to specify available work hours was also helpful in managing a schedule that worked with studies.

      Cons

      Not much room for growth unless you wanted to be a store manager, but then again, most people don't really start working at the restaurants with big hopes of moving up the ladder. The uniforms were a bit uncomfortable, especially during longer shifts. Lobby shifts were horribly boring and usually given out to newer crew memebers as grunt work. 50% discount also adds weight.
