Pros

The best thing about working for McDonald's is the flexible hours. The managers at my store realized that most of us were more concerned with school and our personal lives than we were with work.

Cons

The pay is low, of course. There are plenty of opportunities for promotions, but they really aren't worth it. A promotion usually means an enormous increase in responsibility for a very modest increase in pay. I actually feel worse for the shift managers and assistant store managers than I do for the crew members. My store manager makes decent money, but it took her 15 years of hard work to get to that point.

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.
