Shift Running Manager
Pros: Excellent career progression and training. A really fun, fast paced environment. At the end of every day, you are able to go home, knowing you've worked hard, your team had fun, you've done a good job, fed lots of hungry people and that tomorrow is a new day. No two days are the same, a shift, a colleague or a customer can surprise you with something new, from one minute to the next. This job is the making of person, it's not easy, nor is it tedious and it will let you know who you are.
Cons: The shift timings are always going to be unsociable. There is always going to be those customers or work colleagues who will test your last nerve. Although there is progression, this will take time and real commitment; you need to be someone who can really invest themselves into a future in fast food. Although many skills are transferable, being a Manager for McD is unique and only really qualifies you for this. Despite the fact that the hierarchy will have been through the same experiences, they will not always offer all the support needed; as if to say, they've been through it, why shouldn't you?
