Pros

A good reason a person would want to work for McDonald's is that it doesn't require any previous training. Every skill needed to perform your job properly is taught on-site. McDonald's also offers very flexible work hours, and it is generally easy to negotiate time-off without too many problems.

Cons

Though it may be fair for the industry, the pay is not nearly sufficient. The only people this kind of work is good for are those who are not primary bread-winners for their households. Also, some of the management will not hesitate to sacrifice fairness to employees for success of the business. People are often treated unfairly and completely ignored in order to achieve some insignificant goal.

Pros

In-store management was great, very nice and fun to work with, and was very accommodating when needed.

Cons

I was supposed to be on the official schedule after one week of working, but it took three months to be placed on the schedule, so every day I had to message the store manager to ask if I was needed to work. Once I was on the schedule, I hurt myself outside of work and had to take a day off to go to the doctor (i got someone to cover my shift), After that, I was not on the schedule anymore. I messaged the store manager, the other managers, and the scheduling manager, and after 2 months, I still wasn't on the schedule. I asked the Store manager again, and she said it was my fault I wasn't on the schedule despite the fact that I was messaging everyone I could. I then put my two weeks in because she refused to let me work.
