Pros

There really are no besides being able to keep my lights on.

Cons

Understaffed. They begin at minimum wage and at most stores you have to be 21 McDonald's is hiring at 18 an hour. They have restructured the bonus points system to include things out of our control. They will set a weekly sales target that is impossible to reach, they deduct more for products that go bad due to not selling and have to be written off. My quarterly bonus has shrunk from 5k to under 1k under the new head of the district Minesh Patel with his corporate cost saving measures.

Pros

Benefits such as health/medical insurance

Cons

Massive company. I worked a couple different roles from the “corporate” side, even if I was in stores a lot of the time. One thing I learned is that the “office” or “corporate” roles don’t really have a day off. Sure, it’s a Monday-Friday job but it’s like regardless of what you do there, you’re on call in some way but there isn’t any sort of incentive in return. You’re likely not going to get a sufficient work-life balance working here, because, again, someone is going to be calling or emailing you on the weekend or in the evening where either you have to handle it, or pass it onto someone else who can. Lack of thorough vetting has resulted in unqualified leadership with challenging management styles that hurt daily team morale.
