Pros

Easy summer job, pay is what you'd expect. They're cool with you taking a break every once in a while, too, so it's pretty laid back. And, if your manager is awesome, you can have some free food.

Cons

Customers can be very rude. Everyone seems to assume you're some high school drop-out, and so they can be very condescending. Also, drive-thrus tend to have microphones in dire need of replacement. You'll occasionally have that one coworker who just doesn't give a rat's and messes up the entire service process.

Pros

Working at McDonald's is a good way to get experience. Alot of other jobs students are looking for require some amount of experience so this is a good way to get some. You also get to learn how to work in a fast paced environment. Discounts on food is nice as well. Watch out that you don't eat too much or else you'll be packing on the pounds.

Cons

The work is hard. The pay is minimum. Girls don't particularly like guys that work at McDonalds. Gaining excess weight from all the french fries and big macs that your consume over the years is definitely a downside.
