Pros

It's a good place for students to make a couple of bucks while they're in high school. Additionally, they are very flexible with scheduling (although I think this is mostly due to lack of an option as the other working conditions leave much to be desired). There are also decent incentives for full-time employees. Finally, McDonalds' teaches excellent lessons in stress management, time management, and flexibility for newbies on the job frontier, which will prove valuable in other jobs.

Cons

It's not the best place for people who can't move a million miles an hour. Also, there's the whole fact that it's McDonalds. Additionally, you leave work every day reeking of french fries.

Pros

If you are in high school or looking for your first job this is not a bad place to start off with. It gives you some customer service experience and general job experiece.

Cons

Lack of respect from peers and customers, smell of chip oil that doesn't seem to wash off, long shifts.

Pros

Training is exceptional. You have the ability to become a franchisee regardless of education.

Cons

Starting out, hard work for little money. Takes a while for your income to match the sacrfices of the job. Sometimes store management promotes because of personality and not ability.
