Pros

McDonald's is a traditional, mature organization that is very well run. Strong ethics and business values infuse the organization. Equally, a sane work/life balance is achievable in this organization at fairly high levels of the executive chain. Working for a global brand of McDonald's stature is always challenging and exciting. Salaries are fair, the total compensation package is very good.

Cons

Company is very mature, so getting new thinking and ideas implemented can be a significant challenge (but not impossible). There is not a free flow of ideas and many employees are still reluctant to share their perspectives. General culture is quite friendly but also quite passive-agressive and the organization does not manage conflict particularly well (especially managing up).

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.
