Experience level: Junior

Fun team, some rewarding customers but often stressful.
Pros: McDonald's crews are usually close-knit teams who work well together, look out for each other and socialise outside of work. Regular customers also became friends. Great way to meet loads of people on a daily basis. Lots of opportunity to gain qualifications and progress to Manager and beyond, for those who want to.
Cons: I have had experience with very authoritarian, quite scary managers! Serving customers can be very stressful on busy days (when you have up to 10 orders on the go at once), and this is not helped by a minority of customers who are rude and patronising (also a lot of drunk customers).
