High pressure, low pay. Can be a very difficult job to work.
Pros: Flexibility is definitely Mc Donald's strong point. I am a student who studies in another city and my management are very good at letting me come and go through out the year. They are very tolerant as far as time off goes too. If you have personal issues or are ill they will work around your needs.
Also, for those who left school without qualifications, Mc Donald's offers some form of education across the board.
Cons: In my own store the management can be unprofessional at times. This does not extend to all the managers at the store (some I cannot fault) but this particular criticism does go right to the top. 
Also, the pay is not very competitive with some of the market as Mc Donald's only offers a starting rate of minimum wage. As such a hugely successful company, I can't help but feel the wages for its workers could be risen.
