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

Mc Donalds gets a lot of customers, so you won't be bored at the front. Somewhat good communication between co-workers.

Cons

I do not see very many good reasons to work for this place, the benefits are terrible, and minimum wage is definitely not enough for an assisstant manager. However, if you're a fast food addict or something then this is the place for you. The workplace environment is very crummy, disgusting, and unsanitary. I'm talking about some employees who haven't washed their hands after returning from a trip to the bathroom despite the huge sign that tells them to. I have even seen this problem among the senior management at the franchise that I currently work at. Overall, I would not work here again.
