A first job I forgot to leave
Pros: Excellent progression opportunities if you work for them. 
I’ve met some fantastic people over the years, some are still with the company but others have gone on to other things. 
If you stick around it can be rewarding. 
I’ve been part of a lot of people’s progression and I’ve really enjoyed giving people their first step on the career ladder.
Working for the right franchisee can be very rewarding. 
Job security, McDonald’s is a strong performing company with some of the best training of any company.
Cons: At times the targets set by the company can be unrealistic and become the be all and end all rather than looking at the bigger picture. 
Some people still look down on people who work for McDonald’s and I can honestly say these days it’s an unfair stigma, there are some great people in the McDonald’s system.  
It’s a fast paced, high pressure environment to work in and this isn’t always understood by the people you deal with.
