Pros

McDonalds offers very flexible hours. McDonalds is great for students or stay at home mothers who want to work a couple hours while the kids are at school. Communication between management and crew is outstanding. There is no confusion about any of the products sold. For example, there is a 10 page book on how to make a yogurt paret. Compensation was above minimum wage, and there was a health plan that cost about $40 a month. Managers get one week vacation a year. Employees are constantly recognized for hard work with pins for their tie, gift cards to retail stores, and crew parties.

Cons

Low pay and working with people who do not speek English

Pros

If you need a job and can't get a job then this would be a good place to work. They have very flexible hours which was nice and it was fairly laid back as long as you didn't have to talk to the managers or hear from them.

Cons

The pay is really b bad and the managers always think that they are smarter then you and from my experience they are dumber then a box of rocks.
