Pros

Good benefits, mandatory vacations. Every 5 years, managers get sabbatical--paid 3 months off. Great training program. Lots of opportunity for advancement. It's a tough job but corporate is fantastic giving its management team the best tools they can to be successful.

Cons

Long hours, irregular shifts are tough & make work/ life balance difficult. Taxing both mentally and physically. I worked in a franchise briefly and found all the cons but none of the pros. If you're thinking of managing at McDonalds, get into one of the corporate stores.

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.
