Pros: - Solid Student Job. 

- Can find the odd person who goes far within the organisation if you are lucky. Some go on to work for the franchise and may even own one themselves. It's really unlikely though. 

- They are extremely accommodating for students. But there are more productive ways of spending your summers. It was good for me on weekends during college term.
 
- Usually lots of extra hours if you need to earn more money. 

- It would probably stand to you to work a job like this. Learning to deal with the public is always beneficial. You'll meet awful abuse sometimes and this probably stands to you in the future. You learn to handle customer's complaints without losing the head. You will also we able to work under a lot of stress and pressure (this is probably only true in some McDonald's restaurants in cities... some are dead quiet and easy to work in.). It's also motivation for students to work hard in college and get the f**k out of there. 

- The people I worked with were always so nice and fun. It is a pretty fun atmosphere when it's not busy. My place had a speaker in the kitchen so you'd be blasting tunes and singing while cooking burgers. It does have a 'kid's rule the school' environment sometimes where there's no micro manager on shift. Very stress free job in down time.
Cons: The work is tough, the pay is very poor (especially if you stay and advance through the different promotions. It's actually laughable how little they raise your wage.).
It is also actually horrible doing closes. You'd sometimes work till 3 in the morning. You only realise how bad this is when you leave the place and work a nicer job.
