Down the Middle
Pros: My favorite thing about my time at McDonald's was the people I got to work with. The crew and managers were awesome and so were (some) of the customers (Let's be honest in the fast food industry some of the customers can be downright rude!). I value all of the friendships I gained from working there for 9 years. Because I was an assistant manager, McDonald's picked up my college tuition bill while I was working on getting my Associates Degree.
Cons: Working at McDonald's can be very demanding sometimes. When the crew calls in sick, it is up to the managers to pick up the slack. Working holidays with no incentive or extra perks were a drawback for me. It seemed like the C-Suite staff in Oak Brook made the decisions on which locations to keep open on the holidays, but never took the crew and managers into consideration. They are all just money-hungry.
