Just Started, but...
Pros: I work 3rd shift full time and have only worked for two days so far. They asked me if I'd like to learn the front counter basics or the grill first. I chose the grill because I know it will be the hardest for me to learn and something I needed to learn fast. It's only my second job I've ever had.
I got stuck with some pretty helpful 
people. They know exactly when I was falling behind and stepped in right away to make more meat or put buns in the toaster. I've never really eaten much McDonald's so I'm still not sure about how many cheese's to put on my sandwich, or how many pickles. But I do amazingly on breakfast. I was honest about how I'm not confident to do this Saturday's shift or the next, but I can do Friday's as long as there is at least two other people. So, just speak up about everything and you'll get it down eventually. Don't be afraid to just ask about how a sandwich is assembled. You don't want angry customers.
Cons: I wish I had two breaks. I've only had one 30 minute break on my shifts so far and I read somewhere that in 2019 you're obligated to have a 30 minute lunch break and a 15 minute break if you're working 8 hours or longer.
I absolutely hate the 2nd shifters at my job, they just stand around the lobby when we're slow. So I end up cleaning their fryers and mine also. But once they're gone, I'm good. (Only two nights working there so far and I can tell how it's going to be) some people don't wear gloves and I find that very disgusting. Don't make their habits yours.
