      Pros

      It's an easy job, not terribly stressful. Lots of interesting coworkers. Discounted food. Lots of human interaction. Part time and I had relatively flexible scheduling hours, though i am a morning person and did not mind getting up early in the morning to work the morning shift.

      Cons

      It is an easy job which doesn't require a lot of thought. If you're looking for some thing that will cause you to actually use your brain or engage you, it's not a good choice. Also you smell like hamburger and fries. Plus some of the coworkers can be kind of strang e .

      Pros

      free burgers, free fries, and all the delicious chocolate milkshakes that any teenager could ever ask for. I loved waking up everyday and putting on the uniform. I made every one in my family so proud that i had such a great job at such a great american establishment. I was the first one in my family who did not just free load off welfare.

      Cons

      Everyday I came home smelling like french fries and grease. The only smell worse than that was the stench of the managers when they showed up for work in the morning. Pretty gross working environment.. except for the free burgers!

      Pros

      This place is like the easiest place to get a job. They work with you when it comes to scheduling, so it's a prtty good place to work as a second job, or if you're going to school. Also, since there arent hundreds of employees, and the average restaurant is not that large, you almost become like a family

      Cons

      Customers walk in the door thinking that all of the employees are idiots because they work at mcdonalds. The benefits are not that great. It also gets very greasy in the back. Another thing is the smell, it seems to take about 2 showers just to geet it off of you. Pay sucks. They also tell you that you get quarterly evaluations and you get raises accordingly. That's a lie.
