Pros

Easy promotions, nice supervisors and owners, good chance to make friends, good learning experience in reference to teamwork, etc.

Cons

So much drama. McDonald's itself is like a small town. Tell someone a secret, next day everyone knows and it's a rumor evolved so that it doesn't even make sense anymore.

Pros

Culture promotes teamwork, a genuine enthusiasm for the McDonald's brand helps shape all goals and decisions. Great coworkers. Strong leadership. Company car program at higher bands. Company-only restaurant onsite. Fair vacation policy.

Cons

Somewhat rigid culture: khakis and button-downs, little flexibility to work from home, early hours, suburban location with no public transportation options, below market pay
