Pros

You know what you are getting into. It's minimum wage and they don't sugarcoat that. You get discounts on the food so if you're a fan, then you're in good shape. If you get assigned to a good location, then cleanliness is less of an issue.

Cons

Most of the customers are rude and demeaning towards the employees. The bathrooms at older McDonald's can get really disgusting. You feel oily and grimy after working a shift there. Your manager can sometimes be a total buffoon. Working the late shift is a real drag. Your coworkers may not be the sharpest tools in the shed.

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.
