Hard Workers Rarely get appreciated
Pros: A pro for working at Mcdonald's is that it will make you realize you want more out of life and just don't want to be stuck in McDonald as your career dealing with customers and their attitudes.  
Working for a corporate Mcdonald's will be better than working for an franchise store. (Make Sure you research this before applying for a store to save you the hassle.) Corporate also receive raises every 3 months, your whole uniform is paid for, and you can eat anything on the menu.
At corporate McDonald there is no such thing as labor so you will get your hours regardless. 
The Regulars are amazing people. (In their own way) 
It only took me a year to become a crew trainer.
Cons: Franchise Stores focuses their hours around Labor. Labor must be at an overall 19% at the end of each month. So if the stores labor is 24% labor the end of last month be ready to have your hours cut, because they need to save some money. 
There is not that much room for growth in franchises. Franchises usually hire some off the wall characters. Even though they claim your suppose to get an evaluation and a pay rise at your one year mark, THEY DONT! 
At Franchise Mcdonald's most new hires will sometimes have to deal with harsh old employees. Advice to new hires: You are there to make money, not friends. 
Corporate Mcdonalds Drug, Test, and they are strict. 
The Manager of the Franchise store tries to talk to anyone, any type of way. If she does not like you, you will not get any hours. She calls employees little girls, and little boys. She's unapproachable and does not understand the how to balance her stress.
