Pros

I love working at McDonalds. I know it may seem "low" to some, but the close-ness of all the employees is amazing! every week, we have a "night out", where we go bowling, out to eat, etc. and everyone is nice to eachother all the time. The management is great, too. And there are two performance reviews per year, which qualifies each worker for a raise every six months!

Cons

The only con i have is that they offer all kinds of insurance, but don't offer PTO for crew members or crew trainers. There are many workers that have been there for 5+ years, and still no PTO.

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
