Pros

There is a lot of room for growth, a lot of transferable skills that you can acquire working at McDonald's, the schedules are really flexible which is really important if you are in school, have kids etc. The customers can also be fun at times. You can also make some great friends, and there are a lot of outings and events for you to enjoy

Cons

It can be very demanding and tiring at times. Sometimes the customer's really are not on their best behavior. I sometimes get annoyed when I have to clean after people that just choose to not live as civilized human beings and refuse to throw away their garbage, or even put the trays by the garbage by the door in which they walk through to leave. But some people are just not considerate. The pay is also not that great when you get to management.

Pros

You could recieve free meals during and right after your shift,as well as free drinks, ok work life balance for part time,

Cons

Working environment was highly unprofessional and toxic at the time, workers would call customers the r slur behind their back as well as using the r slur at every given opportunity,I would work around 7 or 6 hours and would sometimes go weeks of shifts without getting any kind of break . The only sort of break you get is from using the restroom. Sometimes people would not communicate on schedules. I had a day unavailable because I was attending community college at the time,they called me right as I was headed into class and I assumed it was spam as I didnt recognize the number ,the next day they got upset with me for no showing,when I had been open about what times I was available and unavailable since the interview and management knew. Everyone always in a bad mood,customers and staff. Was not trained to do certain things and then would have management upset with me for it. Draining experience, also unfriendly to autistic people.
