Worn Out Student
Pros: I LOVE that McDonald's is willing to work with my schedule while I am still in school, there are not many companies that want to be bothered by all the scheduling inconveniences and extra work that comes with building a schedule with many students. I am able to work when I can and also pick up any hours I need on the side. The managers are always willing to help me get what I need in order to devote most of my time to my studies.
Cons: People are always getting hired and then just quitting through no call no shows. We work extremely hard day to day and it never seems to be appreciated in the least bit. There is always only criticism and a list of things that we need to work on. We only get thirty minute meal breaks which fly by when you're working a nine sometimes ten hour shift and can't make it to the restroom as you would like to. We are human too and have to be subjected to some extremely harsh circumstances all while expected to smile, be warm and have everything perfect. All to get paid bi-weekly and barely make it to the next pay period. I don't  know anyone at my job that can honestly say that they are surviving off of the money they make at McDonald's which is why we have to break our backs just to pay the bills. I have worked at McDonald's for 3 years and my heart breaks for my co-workers and myself, we deserve better.
