It's worth it only if you're too desperate
Pros: If you're too desperate to find a job you can always go to McDonalds, they rarely reject applications. 
You learn how to communicate with people whom you would never meet or speak to outside McDonalds. 
The job at McDonalds makes you motivated to study harder and find a better job one day, especially after you meet your colleages and realize that most of them have no dreams or future plans.
Cons: For full-time crew members: Often you have this 4-5 hours period with so many people outside. During this period you have absolutely no time to have a rest, take a breath or even drink water. You don't have time to go to the toilet either, but you don't actually need it because even if you succeed to drink something then the heat in the kitchen and the constant rushing will instantly evaporate it in the form of sweat.
They may put you on the cashier's desk on your very first day and very first hour and don't feel like explaining to you how does it work and where all the stuff are.
Customers treat you like a trash just because you work there and they assume that you're not able to accomplish anything else in your life. 
You get burned on both the grill and the toaster every time you have to do something fast (so every day). It's painfull and it recovers slowly. My whole right hand is in scars... for only two weeks working in the kitchen. 
 Minimum wage and slavery. Germany: 8.51 euro per working hour. Two cheeseburgers cost 4 euro. You work about 30 minutes for two cheeseburges, but for that time you make about 30 of them, as well as 30 hamburgers and probably 4 bigmacs/tasty bacon/whatever...
