Surprisingly Good Experience
Pros: It was a really fun environment that felt like family. We had cake in the breakroom nearly weekly for someone's birthday. The hours were really flexible so it was easy to work and go to school.
Cons: McDonald's is prone to over hiring. It makes it easier for them to be flexible with scheduling but it also means that a person is lucky to get 12 hours a week. There are also huge differences between franchises and corporate. They aren't noticeable from a consumer standpoint but highly noticeable from an employee standpoint. I witnessed many failed transfers of employees between stores because of the differences.
