Pros

Lots of good people, nice office work environment, green buildings. Individual department management has the freedom to run things as they see fit, some are positive and productive, others are oppressive.

Cons

They're hiring lots of new grads and giving them too much power to change processes (to get credit for "ideas" however rudimentary and ineffective) without regard for consequences to work flow, controls and productivity. Bullying is rampant.

Pros

There was a nice social atmosphere where people wanted to get stuff done quick without any fuss. The manager made sure everyone looked smart and really up for the job.

Cons

The pay wasn't too good and the managers were really bossy. Often had to go over on my shift because people wouldn't turn up until half an hour to an hour after their shift had begun.

Pros

Good benefits, mandatory vacations. Every 5 years, managers get sabbatical--paid 3 months off. Great training program. Lots of opportunity for advancement. It's a tough job but corporate is fantastic giving its management team the best tools they can to be successful.

Cons

Long hours, irregular shifts are tough & make work/ life balance difficult. Taxing both mentally and physically. I worked in a franchise briefly and found all the cons but none of the pros. If you're thinking of managing at McDonalds, get into one of the corporate stores.
