      Not bad for a college or high school student.

      Pros

      My biggest reason for working there as long as I have is the hours and flexibility. If I need off an entire weekend, I get it. If I need off a whole week, I can get that too. If I can only work for 4 hours a day or want to work 10, I basically get anything I need to get. Because they're open for 16 hours a day, there is a huge window of available shifts.

      Cons

      The pay is terrible as can be expected, working with people who don't care because it's "just McDonald's," customers who treat you like you're a lower being. Overall, I think the stigma associated with working at McDonald's is one of its biggest downfalls.

      Work is ok, pay is typical, but customers can be a nightmare.

      Pros

      The best reason to work at McDonald's is the other employees. They are all around your age, so you get along really well most of them (always some bad ones). The second best reason to work at McDonalds would probably be the casual nature of the job, which when you are a student - is really good. The work is also pretty easy, though monotonous.

      Cons

      By far, the biggest downside about working at McDonald's would be dealing with the customers. The vast majority of customers are alright, but occasionally you get some really hard ones, though thats more indicative of the clientele McDonald's serves.

      Pros

      I really enjoy working there because there is a good hierarchy there with the managers and directors and crew. The managers are splendid. They consider us as humans not as slav es or animals. Most of the time they are considerate when it comes to days off when it is something important and neccesary. They also look at the potential of you as a worker and an asset to the McDonald's Corp. as a whole they are an awesome group to work with not as just co-workers but as a people, humans, friends. They really interest themselves as people: our problems, our needs, and even when possible our wants.

      Cons

      Sometimes I believe they could do better in the way they manage. There could be a little more communication from the managers to the crew trainer's to the crew. We should be a little more united.
