Best job I've had! (This is my third job at 16)
Pros: Easy to book time off online, people are lovely at my store, everyone is basically 16/17 apart from a few of the managers so it's easy getting along with everyone. The job itself is quite simple, as I'm a really tidy person anyway so I quite enjoy cleaning the store :) the regular customers are lovely, and will always be pleasant to you :) I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND that if you apply for a job at McDonald's you apply for the job of a CUSTOMER CARE ASSISTANT, especially if you don't do stress well. If you apply for crew member, you're in the back of the store or on the till, which can get extremely hot, sweaty, and stressful back there! When you're a cca it's a simple and easy job, and you always go outside for a breather whenever you want, without any of the managers having a go! The managers tend to leave you alone and let you get on with the job, but if you're a crew member like some of my friends are, you're always getting nagged for not being quick enough.
Cons: I'm a customer care assistant, and therefore I'm constantly walking round and moving to tidy up after everyone. The hours can be long, and they often only want you on weekends. The worst part is the customers as I feel like they PURPOSELY leave their tables a complete mess just because they can. I don't mind tidying up/cleaning as that's obviously my job, but when customers are blatantly rude and pour drinks all over their table it's disgusting :-) the worst customers are the teenagers- who sit in for hours without ordering anything and think McDonald's is a youth club. Quite regularly we have to ring the police because teenagers won't leave or are trying to damage the building :/ apart from that, the job itself isn't bad at all!
