Woo McDonald's :)
Pros: It's a job that enables you to learn how to deal with all sorts of customers. It allows you to socialise regularly, and I have been working there for almost 5 years, and I have met some truly amazing people. It's a job that I'd recommend working as a teenager, as it gives you first hand experience with everything, and the training that you receive as a trainee is very beneficial to any other jobs you might want to apply for, later on in your career path.
Cons: To every job there is always downsides, and some worse than others. As an employee at McDonald's, I work close shifts and overnights. And seeing as I work in Wollongong where everyone goes out to party, drink or have dinner.. So therefore it's gets rather busy. At my store, and I presume at other stores they don't roster enough crew on overnights, and quite frankly they don't care. The amount of hard work that overnighters have to do in order to prepare for open is ridiculous, considering how busy we get on weekends, and some weekdays depending if an event is on. My store manager is a great person, she knows the store better than anyone else. But how she treats some crew, and the way that she handles matters is horrible.
