I love my job!
Pros: A lot of hours, over time, wonderful customers, great relationships with my managers. I was first trained to do the drive thru and not to brag on myself, but I always received great compliments from the customers because apparently I was "the nicest drive thru girl" most of them had ever met. My managers would always come to me telling me how the customers would call the main office and request that I would be kept in the drive thru, so that's ultimately what happened! I looked forward to being at work 5'o clock every morning because I could make people smile. I love people and if I could make someone's day in just 15 seconds or less, it was worth dealing with my catty and jealous coworkers. Other than the cash register, I only knew how to drop fries/hashbrowns and fix McCafe beverages. Anything else is completely greek to me. Also even though I made minimum wage, I was very fortunate that my GM and guest service manager always made sure I would get a whole bunch of hours. I honestly would clear a MINIMUM of $400 every two weeks on my paychecks. I loved my job at McDonald's. It's one of the funnest jobs I ever had.
Cons: Every McDonald's has messy workers! Like I said, I would always get a whole bunch hours. At my location, the limit was 34 hours and I would always make at least 6 hours over time, and this one young lady would always rat me out to the supervisor that was over our GM, and at one point, I got cut down to 10 HOURS! No joke. Also, keep your personal life out of the store..A young man and I were sort of dating and when word got around, so many rumors sprouted. I hear this happens at EVERY McDonald's. Also, sometimes the system is very unorganized..such as some people not getting enough hours, or sometimes the managers will favor certain employees and this might limit your hours.
