McCrap of a job - Anonymous employee McDonald's Employee Review

Good job to have at 16

Fast paced and early work hours

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.

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.
