Not a bad place to work. (Mine is independently operated and owned)
Pros: -Free meals
-Easy to get promoted - After 4 months of working there i got asked to be promoted to crew trainer....that took awhile....but it's worth it. It's another 0.25 raise.
-Depending on where you work, you will have some good customers, and pretty good managment.
-You will meet great people
-Easy to get hours
-Can call off if you must. 
-Pay isn't too bad. You will get opportunities for pretty decent raises.
Cons: -A lot of work to do depending on which one you work at. My current location usually operates with about 4 staff from 4- close. 
You will have one person on back drive (despite all you must do back there. Take cash, orders, fill ketchup, and WASH DISHES!) You're lucky to get help even when there are to many people working! 
One person on grill...this slows down the whole process, and it backs drive thru up, so you can't wash all your darn dishes! The manager runs, and bags food, and you might have one crew member handing out order and taking orders on front counter. 
It makes the times sky rocket when we get busy an are understaffed like this.
-You may work with a bunch of druggies....i did at my first mcdonalds location, but at my current location there isn't much of that.

Despite what i've said, Mcdonalds isn't a bad place to work. It just depends on your location.
