Great 1st Job and Way to Build People Skills
Pros: You’re basically forced to get out of your shell no matter how much you try to avoid direct contact with people so I learned a lot of communication/people skills here. I’ve made so many friends here since I started 2 years ago. The workers come and go so I make new friends all the time and still keep in touch with the people who’ve left. I’ve grown a lot as a person and it definitely gives you a humble perspective towards other people who work in food/retail. At the McDonalds I work at, the hours are extremely flexible. The pay seems to always be increasing. I started at $10.25 an hour now it’s $11.60.
Cons: Extremely mean/rude customers. Some can be like that for no reason at all. Working here will really start to make you hate people. That’s really the main con to this job. Some managers you won’t like, some you will. Sometimes they won’t schedule enough people for the day. There’s been way too many days where there’s only been exactly 2 people running the whole store with 1-2 kitchen workers in the back. Some employees will call out on you or be off right when you need them the most. The McDonalds I work at doesn’t do direct deposit so you’ll have to cash your checks in manually.
