      Pros

      Good camaraderie, really had some good friends. Good solid job, quite easy work most of the time, enjoyed knowing what I'd be doing each day. I enjoyed the area I was in and the hours were fine for me - you know when you'll be needed and you can usually work around that. The leadership was good in my store but I know it can vary from store to store. There was respect amongst colleagues but they were my friends so you hope so!! Morale was not always the best but it got better on Fridays!

      Cons

      Cleaning aspects, and dealing with difficult customers. Once or twice a day usually there was a customer who clearly looked down on the work you were doing but most of the time they were fine I guess.

      Pros

      Hard work pays off at McDonald's, and the benefits are great - especially the 401K. I've never met a harder working group of people. That applies to the people in the restaurants, as well as the staff in each of the regions. Imagine the challenges of tuning an engine that is running 24-7. That analogy applies to McDonald's - it's a system that never sleeps. But, everyone in McDonad's strives each day to do a better job than the day before. It isn't an easy task. But, it is a cornerstone of the culture.

      Cons

      We work extremely hard - the restaurants only close 2 days a year. It doesn't matter what your discipline is - it's challenging work. But, we're also the best in the industry. McDonald's is using technology more than it ever has, but it still has a long way to go before technology provides the benefits it has the potential to provide to the system.

      Pros

      Employee Recognition is outstanding. Food Benefits are good also.. Top Management is good is communicating vision to employees..

      Cons

      No match on 401K plan by employer. Pay for shift managers is not equitable. Salaried management opportunities need to be equitable based on experience as well as actual performance on the job....ie Standards for Promotion versus the "gut" of the Store Manager/Supervisor. Career Path for people who want to be promoted from within needs to be more attainable.
