Pros

The colleagues were very helpful and kind when they had time they helped with teaching you new skills. The absolute argument in favor is that the job required me no previous German knowledge, as most of the colleagues spoke English as well and the German knowledge used for work here can be learned within 2 weeks. Also, you get the 13th and 14th months' salary if you work here just like most workplaces in Austria.

Cons

No general teaching tools or learning curve, e.g. I was thrown into deep water on my first day without any instruction which is extremely dangerous considering the fact that I have never worked with similar types of machinery (with extreme heat and frying oil in deep-fry machines) before. Scheduling is the worst, for most of my time here I did only know my schedule for the next 1-2 days. This could be solvable by hiring more staff as we were very much understaffed all of the time, which was also reflected in the speed of order fulfillment. I have heard that this is a special case for this one Mcdonald's restaurant I worked in and most of the others have a healthy amount of staff.
