Pros

They are very flexible with work hours. The opportunity to move up is always there.

Cons

I've worked at two different McDonalds in my life, and my advice is not to work at one located in an upper class neighborhood. The customers are extremely snoby, picky, and very quick to complain and call corporate over the smallest problems, even if they were easily resolved. Rich people will call corporate in order to not get charged for there bbq sauce. In lower class neighborhoods, they are completely understanding to the struggles you may come across. Cooler customers = less stress.

Flexible hours, free chicken sandwiches, close to bus-line, time goes fast because it is so busy, job is very easy.

Cons

Go home smelling like fat, customers are rude and borderline violent at times, very low pay, no chances to advance.
