      Don't do it. - Shift Manager McDonald's Employee Review

      Pros

      The pay is decent compared to other fast food restaurants, the hours are flexible and it's easy to get time off. There are also employee discounts on meals during shifts.

      Cons

      There is no individuality in this job. The work is mundane and boring. As far as career opportunities go? You could eventually be promoted to General Manager which I never wanted to begin with. The second McDonald's starts paying you a salary you automatically give up many other aspects of your life, for example higher education. It might work part-time if you're really strapped for cash, but as far as making a real career of it? No thanks!

      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.
