A good starting job
Pros: You can learn a variety of skills if you continue to PERSIST in asking management to let you. If, and I do mean if you're competent at the jobs they put you on, you will be promoted. It's that simple. Otherwise you will be stuck at the same level with no advancement. Don't be afraid, reach out and try. Getting older does not entail new skills, effort and learning does.
Cons: Customers, customers, customers. I've seen them order fifteen mchickens in the drive thru, complicate them by subtracting or adding ingredients, and then change their order midways! Huge orders at the drive thru happens a LOT. Special added/subracted/cooked fresh orders happens a lot too.

Beyond this, sometimes working with others can be a challenge because.... some of them are in high school. Some high schoolers don't take their work seriously and play on the job. Then you have those who are older and have made mcdonalds their career. Some are nice, others... others are not, and still others are both.

No matter what, if you're competent it goes a long way towards the leadership recognizing it and giving you more hours. Avoid conflicts with other workers as best you can, those who are troublemakers will be dealt with by management sooner or later.
