      A lifetime of experience if you can stand the stress and feeling like you're the only Manager there

      Pros

      McDonald's has a world class training program for managers that can earn them college credit, experience that will help you with any future job, most of the crew work hard, most of the customers are great to serve.

      Cons

      The owner hardly ever comes in, there is a lot of favoritism between crew and managers, salary and bonus' are low, you always hear about the bad stuff from your shift but you are never praised for the good and hard work that you do.

      Pros

      Great benefits - the 401k cannot be beat! Management is where it's at as long as you still come in wanting to work hard - but in a different way than the crew. You are in fact paid to think. It's a mind game, and it can be very stimulating. You are guaranteed to come across some of the most interesting people and you will have conversations that you will remember forever. There's always something to be done, and there are so many different things to do, you should not be bored!

      Cons

      Can be very stressful; it will certainly test your patience. It can also get depressing sometimes if you have a bad batch of customers or employees who just don't want to work. If you allow yourself to be walked on and used, you will be. You will be physically tired at the end of every day if you are doing the job well.

      Pros

      Not overly baring, Great employee discount(50%), Funny co-workers(generally), Fast paced, Looks good on the resume, and good opportunities for advancement.

      Cons

      Can't call in sick without getting hassled, have to do things by the book, managers yell a lot, easy to gain weight while working.
