      Pros

      The work life balance was very helpful to me and helped me manage the many things going on in my life. the department was great and was filled with very competent people who did high quality work. The people were the best part of the job; there was a lot of respect between coworkers and managers.

      Cons

      It is a huge company. That can be a positive or a negative. The downside of it being a huge company is that you can be looked at as a little fish in a big sea. Some times it was hard to be recognized for superior work because there was just so many people there.

      Pros

      Good camaraderie, really had some good friends. Good solid job, quite easy work most of the time, enjoyed knowing what I'd be doing each day. I enjoyed the area I was in and the hours were fine for me - you know when you'll be needed and you can usually work around that. The leadership was good in my store but I know it can vary from store to store. There was respect amongst colleagues but they were my friends so you hope so!! Morale was not always the best but it got better on Fridays!

      Cons

      Cleaning aspects, and dealing with difficult customers. Once or twice a day usually there was a customer who clearly looked down on the work you were doing but most of the time they were fine I guess.

      Pros

      McDonald's is truely an american company that is looking for ways to maintain longterm growth. It is an exciting time with McCafe which should become as recognized to our brand as drive thru's and breakfast are for us. We often promote from within and have a fabulous team of owner opperators. And alot of them started out as crew people. We teach alot of people some basic job skills. We provide people with a great product at a fantastic value. McDonald's has some amazing products and employees even more amazing people. The atmosphere is fast paced and stimulating. We have the BEST Happy Meal program!

      Cons

      McDonald's talks about being about people, but we abuse our employees alot. Having to work weekends and holidays and 50 to 60 hours. It is amazing that anyone would take a multimillion dollar business and put teenagers in charge, and in a lot of cases not even have any type of admin. assistant. We don't give the training needed, because it takes away from the bottom line, and we do little to recognize our employees. The job is hard, the hours are long and the rewards are few. Its even officially labled. the "mcJob". Its hard to really have alot of pride in that.
