Shift Manager
Pros: -All of my staff is friendly, and they don't argue with me when I ask them to do something 
-My pay is pretty decent and the benefits under my current owner are pretty decent (we're a franchise), but this does vary from owner to owner. I will say if you work at a franchise McDonald's, you should go for owners who have multiple McDonald's they will have more revenue to work with thus giving you a decent.
Cons: The list is endless but I'll keep it to 4: 
1. Customers are a-holes
2. There is ALWAYS something wrong with a piece of equipment, unless they're on top of it constantly. 
3. When you are down (they call out) a few people it really sucks. You get slammed and can't get side work done without stopping in the middle of a huge rush. Then you get yelled at by your higher-up, which is always so fun.
4. Maintaining high quality of food is hard at some points, especially when your trying to avoid wasting too much food. I personally close every night and at my location it tends to be super slow at night so we don't make a lot of food. It usually always expires with a lot of it let in the cabinets.
