Pros

Great organization that values human differences and fosters a flexible work/life balance.

Cons

Middle management in IT are baby-boomers whom are set in their ways making advancement and the opportunity to foster a creative and innovative environment nearly impossible!!!

Pros

A decent part time job if you can not find a better place to work. Cashiers and drive-thru workers have lighter burdens to carry.

Cons

Everything about the work environment, especially in the grill area: Loud beepers, ungrateful managers, horrible hours, no tips.

Pros

Free meals, good first job for a school leaver, worldwide business phenomenon, friendly manager, made some good friends with my colleagues and career progression is great. Make sure you read the McDonald's values and vision.

Cons

Rude customers, unhealthy food and smell of oil is unpleasant. Be prepared to work longer than needed when the manager calls otherwise you will get a bad mark and the colleagues will want to see you contribute as well. Do not take but give back.
