Great First Job
Pros: Working in fast food has a stigma attached to it, but it really shouldn't. As long as you show that you are willing to learn and always try your best, McDonald's is a great company to start out with. 
My co-workers were the best part about my time here - you really make some good friends. The flexibility of working hours is also a bonus as it can really fit to suit your needs.
Training is available to anyone looking to progress into management with a really good support system behind it.
Free food!
Cons: Managers have a tendency to keep you on one station if you are good at it, some people many not mind this but it's nice to have a little variation when you work.
Long (often unsociable) hours.
Managers under pressure to hit labour targets so sometimes the store can feel understaffed, or you can be let home early (but usually they give you the choice).
