Toxic culture

Pros

Decent benefits, new office space

Cons

Unfortunately, the culture if extremely toxic and that comes from the Sr. Director level. There have been multiple restructures with no explanation or direction. There is no employee development, no work/life balance, you are expected to work at all hours/weekends. In nearly 3 years of being here, only 2 people have promoted and if you attempt to leave the group and explore what other opportunities McDonald's has to offer, you are met with extreme attitude and disdain.

Pros

Guaranteed hours, great for entry level management experience, leadership experience, benefits, paid vacation, teaches you how to work hard, etc...

Cons

Pay is not what it should be for what you have to deal with or do, it is up to the GM's discretion on when you can be fully certified and finally increase pay (which is still not what it should be), lots of highschool kids work and bring drama (you're kind've a baby sitter), management is hard to convince to make changes, and you have to deal with lots of hostility when your employees make a simple mistake.
