      Pros

      There is respect for every level of employee. In other places the people that clean the bathrooms and kitchens are invisible. At McDonald's analysts and janitors actually have friendly, communicative relationships. That's impressive. I like the "peer award" system. When someone does something helpful and noteworthy, another member on the team can nominate that someone for an award. The people are genuinely nice and have a "let's all pitch in and get this done" attitude.

      Cons

      In an effort to be maximally productive, people sometimes churn out documents without regard for (a) who else is doing the same thing or (b) whether it serves a legitimate purpose.

      Good first job, but low pay and limited growth

      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.
