Pros

Free food if you are sneaky Good and flexible hours Not too hard to become manager if you are in a good location

Cons

Really low pay Really 'hot' environment due to the constant frying Even though you can have free food, once you see it cooked you wont want it anymore

Pros

Working at McDonald's is a good way to get experience. Alot of other jobs students are looking for require some amount of experience so this is a good way to get some. You also get to learn how to work in a fast paced environment. Discounts on food is nice as well. Watch out that you don't eat too much or else you'll be packing on the pounds.

Cons

The work is hard. The pay is minimum. Girls don't particularly like guys that work at McDonalds. Gaining excess weight from all the french fries and big macs that your consume over the years is definitely a downside.
