Our local McDonald experience
Pros: Systems train young people how to follow through from start to finish.  Meeting all kinds of people, learning to work under pressure and how to deal with difficult co workers and customers.
Cons: Low pay, no insurance, top managers waste time on cell phones, and fooling around instead of working, filling in for shortages and get involved in personal relationships with subordinates that caused preferential treatment.  No consistency on size of cups on ice coffee and prices reflect inconsistency.  Two lanes in small lots are a disaster causing confusion for customers and staff.  Employer not providing adequate air conditioning and having employees working in very hot environments.  Lazy employees who do not do their job and stand around talking are not fired. Promotions based upon popularity instead of hard working employees.  Not enough full time advancement opportunities for young hard workers to keep them moving up and making a career out of working for McDonalds.
