McDonald's reviews

Management do not always appreciate students cannot work all the time (even on a part time contract!) Pressure to work irregular hours (till midnight on a weekday). Ringing to demand you come into work when you are in lectures at university) Safety does not appear to be a priority for them. Taking bins out in the dark alone down a poorly lit alley, with drunk, disorderly and potentially dangerous individuals. Being threatened with violence by customers, in a bathroom. Two stabbing in the bathroom in the 5/6 months I was working there. Bullying culture is prevalent amongst regular staff, whom I believe are quite resentful of part-timers and management condone and often promote this. Not the most hygienic of jobs. Tiring work. The unjust attitude of my colleagues and pressure from management to work unsuitable/ unsocial hours ultimately made me leave.

Low pay - paid minimum wage, not a cent above it. Lack of training - I did not receive any formal training on how to make certain drinks or desserts. Instead I was instructed to watch a general training video that didn't teach me what was relevant to performing my job Customers can be rude - it's McDonald's. Disorganized Seemed like high turnover
