Fair job, but depends which one you work at
Pros: - Fast paced environment (never bored, usually switch once at some point e.g. Cashier to Drive-thru) 

- At times you can ask if you can switch to another position (because it can become tiring doing the same task)

- Can easily trade shifts because so many people work here (excellent life and work balance)

- The managers genuinely care about you (It`s actually part of the manuals to ask `Are you okay?` while working)

- Get coupons for upselling certain amount of a particular item

- Very satisfying job if you care about above-and-beyond customer service (smiling, solving minor problems etc.)

- Authenticity and care for employees is there, just depends which one you work at (Half are negative -9 in terms of being a people person and having empathy for lower positioned workers but the other half are fantastic) I really want to give 4 stars but me and many others have had bad experiences with certain managers
Cons: - If you`re a part-timer, make sure you keep track of your hours. I`ve had two coworkers who were working part-time come up to the managers multiple times regarding missed hours.

- They forget to promote employees if they aren`t buddy buddy with the manager(s) and team leaders. 
One coworker had been working a little over 1 yr VS less than a yr crew member, less than a yr crew member got promoted to crew trainer before other did (still hasn`t been promoted yet). 
Another coworker had inquired about becoming crew trainer as well and still hasnt been promoted

- Our restaurant works at half the labour we are suppose to (according to one of the team leaders who has read all the manuals)

- Training is not as pristine as McDonalds reputation is known for. Largely depends on who trains you.

- Apparently our particular restaurant is known for being really cliquey with crazy managers (half of them don`t want to be there slash it isn`t the job for them)
