Pros

I got a lot of opportunities to move around, and have been fortunate to work with really great people. Good benefits. Free soda and coffee (for now)

Cons

Leadership is insulting to current employees, sometimes jobs are not posted, recognition is few and far between and very much about being selected by leadership (being a chosen one) rather than merit. It takes the meaning out of it, and in cases where they are trying to boost morale it has the exact opposite effect. I don't trust any of them. Cash compensation is not competitive at all. At some point, the company is going to finally realize it. It was especially bad the year there was no bonus paid. Even with bonus, the pay is below the market BASE pay. They are still laying people off, so be very careful if you go to McD's. They are only just getting started. This is from a young employee. I might be safe today, but ten years from now I could be on the chopping block like many others when things go sour. Loyalty to the company is not rewarded.

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.
