Flexible hours but lots of disrespect
Pros: As long as you are not a manager you can basically work any time for the most part, as long as you are strategic with your availability. Some coworkers are super chill people overall once you get to know them
Cons: I have worked there on and off for over 5 years (I had to go to college so I was on multiple leaves of absence) and long story short I did not get paid what I was worth. I got on average a 10 cent raise each year. I was so heartbroken the first time because I knew I worked hard and was always improving. I finally had to beg to get a raise up to the nearest dollar ($11) meanwhile Target employees are making $15/hr base pay. So after 3 years of working at my second Mcdonald's (I transferred at one point due to moving) I went from $10 (base pay) to $11. They did not even factor in my previous experience from the previous Mcdonald's into my initial payrate. Meanwhile they start a new person off at $11 on day 1 and they did much less work than others and they ended up being a major thief to employees and the company, myself included. Not to mention customers crappy attitudes for no reason, it's hard to stay positive and cheerful looking at so many grouchy faces, especially when other coworkers are slackers which lead to increased customer grouchiness and you are the one to get blamed for it/take the heat. I almost had a panic attack at multiple points because it got so bad. I could go on but I would rather not waste my time rehashing bad memories
