Pros

Close, everyone knows everyone depending on how long you've been there. Promos may or may not come with a free t-shirt and other merchandise. Very good opportunities to advance. One free meal a day including 50% off 30 minutes before and after your shift. Very laid back. Very good with flexible scheduling. I had a lot of amazing moments here that helped me grow as not only a worker but as a person.

Cons

Some franchises cheat the good employees out of promotions, raises to give them to the employees that give management info and/or brown nose. Not very much room to advance compared to corporate-owned McDonald's. They will forever go off of your availability from your application when you were hired no matter how long you work there and how much your life changes.

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.
