Pros

McDonalds was an easy job to progress in as my first job. The management was not overbearing or intrusive and respected the varying workload college put on me. The systems and processes in place to quickly serve food are very well though out and I learned alot about time management.

Cons

Working for McDonalds is not really a job to be proud of, it is a simplistic job that requires no skill set. The work is harder than other job where I have been paid more.

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.
