Pros

McDonald's as a whole would be a great company to work for. They do provide excellent service and products. It would be a place to be proud to work for. Their procedures are consistent so you could work in another store and feel comfortable.

Cons

This was not a corporate owned store. Management training was not done properly. It can be very discouraging to not know the procedures and when you would ask questions they would not take the time to answer them. It made me feel inadequate anf frustrated.

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.
