Nice coworkers, cranky customers
Pros: I cannot complain about the managers or coworkers (for the most part). There are a couple cranky coworkers, but you can't expect for every coworker to be great to work with. Management definitely goes out of its way to make the work environment good. Flexible scheduling. Working this job helps you with your customer service and people skills, if nothing else.
Cons: Ahh, the customers. As you can imagine, many of the people who frequent Mcdonalds are not exactly the kind of people who you want to deal with on a regular basis. They just leave you with a bad taste in your mouth, if you will. The regulars feel as if they are owed something because of their frequenting the store, and will pop a cork at you for the smallest thing. Minimum wage is not enough to get frequently chewed out by customers and take it with a smile, day in and day out. They make a job that would otherwise be relatively pleasant, and turn it into a total drag. I dread every shift because of this - not going to shed a tear when I leave.
