Good first job, but see it as a stepping stone.
Pros: Working at McDonald's provided me with a great work ethic and gave me basic customer service skills. Employers also look favourably on people who have worked at McDonald's given their vigorous training.
Cons: In most retail/fast food employment, the relationships between management and staff can be tricky. Often, this 'power' can go to the heads of young managers, and from my experience, can be abused. I really enjoyed some of my time at McDonald's, but a lot of the time there were issues. I also feel as though there needs to be better support for young employees, so that they aren't being exploited.
