Not as bad as people make it out to be
Pros: -Fast-paced work environment. You're only bored if it's late at night or early in the morning.
-Free extra value meal on your break and 25% discount on other menu items depending on the management
-Lots of hours available if you are good at it. I made about 250-360 per check working part-time.
-Opportunities to move up to management and trainer positions if you are good at it and stick around long enough
Cons: -The stigma. People literally pity you when you say you work here
-The customers are AWFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Most will automatically assume you are uneducated, lazy, and dumb and treat you like dirt. Since McD has such a bad rap, most of them look for something to complain about (and try to get a free meal out of) in whatever way they can.
-Cleaning can be gross--especially in the bathrooms and Playplace
-It's minimum wage, so pay is sucky. But, you can still make a lot if you spend most of your time at work.
-Lunch and breakfast rushes can get pretty stressful
