Don't work at McDonald's
Pros: The only real pro for working here is a paycheck, unless you enjoy standing on your feet for your entire shift.
Cons: I had one 30 minute break, which I had to take after working for only one hour, for an 8 hour shift. For this break, I had to either sit in the employee break room, located near the back drive thru ordering station, or my vehicle. I as a manager, wasn't allowed to sit anywhere inside the restaurant, because one customer complained that even if managers on off the clock and on break, they still needed to get up and wait on customers when it was busy. Now, since this particular customer called and complained so many times to McDonald's eight hundred service, the hotline employees asked him why he continued to go to that restaurant if he kept having such horrible experiences there. In other words, he called to complain in order to gain attention from someone. Now, I ask, was it fair to allow employees to sit in the diningroom on their break, but not management? I was not a salaried worker. But that doesn't matter when a person is on break. I received no benefits, unless you consider a one week vacation, after working as a manager for a year as a benefit. No 401k plan. No direct deposit. Not even a regular raise. I had to beg for a new uniform. I only worked there because I honestly needed a paycheck.
