Experience level: Confirmed

McDonald's was the best employer I could have chosen for my first part-time job.
Pros: - flexible scheduling, easy to work around school or another job
- fun work environment, worked with lots of young people and had fun at work
- good training
- good benefits (relative to similar jobs)
- free uniforms
- discounts
- room for advancement
- variety of roles, could work in the kitchen one day, in the drive-thru the next, and then hosting a child's birthday party
Cons: - pay scale terrible after Ontario's minimum wage increase; after 4 years of employment I was making the same hourly wage as brand new employees
