Pros

-Easy to work around your schedule -Free meals

Cons

-Management/HR are family so its impossible to have managers held accountable for there immoral actions. -In my experiance at McDonald's most of the management was racist towards me and others. -They refused to to hire anyone above the age of 18 so a small handful of people aged above 18 would regularly be required to do closes while working with a bunch of children that are too busy gossiping to help -The store manager at my Mcdonalds has tried to fight me and others on multiple occasions and bullied the people that wouldn't stand up for themselves -One time I laughed in the kitchen and the store manager said with an angry demeanour "why are you laughing". I hadnt realised I wasn't allowed to laugh at my place of work (this is one of the many examples of the times "Ian Crawford" had tried to attack me") -Management WILL take a blind eye to anything that could hurt there credibility

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
