Pros

Mc Donalds gets a lot of customers, so you won't be bored at the front. Somewhat good communication between co-workers.

Cons

I do not see very many good reasons to work for this place, the benefits are terrible, and minimum wage is definitely not enough for an assisstant manager. However, if you're a fast food addict or something then this is the place for you. The workplace environment is very crummy, disgusting, and unsanitary. I'm talking about some employees who haven't washed their hands after returning from a trip to the bathroom despite the huge sign that tells them to. I have even seen this problem among the senior management at the franchise that I currently work at. Overall, I would not work here again.

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.
