Treat Employees Pretty Well
Pros: The hours are flexible and great if you are juggling two jobs or a part time job while in school(which is the case for most people these days). There are good opportunities for moving up within the company given that you demonstrate you can preform the necessary tasks. However, promotion seems to stall out the farther up you go. Training in the McDonald's company is great. As a crew trainer, I believe the way it is designed gives new crew members a good amount of time to learn and acclimate to the new environment. There are also opportunities for additional training days when necessary for specific crew. Overall I am pleased to have had the chance to work for McDonalds throughout my time in university. The work ethic and values I acquired during my time here is something I can carry with me for life.
Cons: Overall, there are issues surrounding pay, break policies and fair compensation. When I started working for McDonald's, they offered an additional 25 cents on top of minimum wage which provided extra incentive for young people entering the work force to consider a job with the company. That has since been eliminated. Now it seems you are lucky to get a raise at all.
