Pros

You will get to work with some pretty amazing coworkers, that make the job bearable. While a lot of customers can be a pain in the butt, you will meet some customers that never fail to put a smile on your face. The hours are flexible, and it's pretty easy road to get more hours, and to request for days off. For the most part, they will honor your availabilities.

Cons

Working at McDonalds is kinda like being in an abusive relationship, you stay because you love the people you work with, and because you want/need to get paid. However, when times get hard, and when you don't perform to their godly levels of expectation. They will treat you like trash and dirt, and you will get crap on for the stupidest, and for the silliest of reasons. It's a thankless job with little reward, and there will be days when the managers treat you like crap just because they've had a bad day. One day you are their punching bag, and the next day they can be your very best friend. It's ridiculous and downright crazy.

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.
