      Pros

      I've worked at McDonald's for coming on 3 years now, and the biggest pro I can think of is how flexible it is. I go to uni 9 months out of 12, but my business manager still allows me to do shifts over Christmas, Easter or summer. All I have to do is call him up and say when I'm available and I'll get shifts!

      Cons

      At times, as you can imagine, it can get busy and the pressure can build up, especially when eyes are on the managers to perform well at the secret shopper tasks.

      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.
