Cashier
Pros: It is a great first job to get your foot into the door of the employment world. You get to meet wonderful people. You also get 50% off food while on the clock (when the G.M. isn't in one of his "moods"). 
Some of the manager and employees were there to help you when you needed it.
Cons: The Pay- $7.25 (minimum wage in Georgia) doesn't cut it anymore- even for a high school/college student much less an adult. 

The customers- They would get mad over the slightest errors but hey thats anywhere nowadays.

Shift Managers- Certain shift managers had attitudes and did not want to help you at all. They would murmur stuff under their breath, talk about you in front of you with other employees and to other employees behind your back.  

The General Manager- When I first started working there the G.M. was fairly decent. However right before I started to leave for college he got lazy. He would hardly ever show up, when he did it was late and would always leave early. Never helped us in the slightest even when we were busy and I was the only one on Front Counter AND had to complete the orders. He also got very strict and would even watch the cameras footage everyday, even fired a few people from that. 

Favoritism ( but hey that's any job)- Certain employees would get promoted faster, and get better positions (such as D.T. or the Window).  

No room for advancement- I worked at McDonalds for a year and three months and continued to receive the minimum hourly rate of $7.25 the whole time, and let me tell you I worked my butt off. Kinda makes you sad when you see people who were hired after you get promotions and you don't. 

The "Untouchables"- The employees who have the worst attitudes and are extremely lazy. You can't do anything to them because they apparently have "connections" higher up.
