Pros

McDonald's has a great culture - good people, strong focus on team dynamics and "none of us is as good as all of us." Good focus on the business and strong leadership team, though very operations centric.

Cons

Tough to enter into corporate and feel like you are making an impact as much of the recognition comes out of the field. Very decentralized company so ideas can take a long time to advance.

Pros

Good first job but don't stay for more than 2 years unless you get promoted to a manager.

Cons

Job has low pay. Won't give you raises unless they promote you, you are treated the same as a new hire even if you have 2 years of experience. Crew members have no say in anything, they claim when you become a crew trainer your opinion matters.
