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.

Pros

McDonald's is an exciting brand to work for with the global reach and presence. When I joined the company in 2019 it truly felt like the "McFamily" culture many who have ketchup in their veins preach. There are amazing benefits working for the company including 401k match, stock equity, and tenure based additional vacation time. The pay is also aligned with the market.

Cons

Favoritism and cliques made the Global People function feel extremely immature. Promotions were not based on merit or work product, rather who you were friends with. There were many People initiatives that were extremely unorganized and felt chaotic. Many prioritization and work eliminating efforts like offshoring parts of the HR team to Mexico City and India actually ended up adding more work to everyone's plates. Leadership took no accountability outwardly to the negative outcomes of some of these initiatives and instead would blame the HR team for not adopting, but behind closed doors admitted to the lack of planning and change management.
