Awesome
Pros: You grow close with your crew and managers. There are employee outings, during the summer once McDonald's crew members were invited to go bowling, free for them and family members. During the summers you get a good amount of hours as it can get quite busy. As well as during the holiday season. Black friday, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve. It gets really crazy but you get a good opportunity to work many hours. On Black Friday I worked from 1am-11:30am The customers came in non-stop waves. It was insane. The pay is decent so it was worth it seeing that paycheck. Uniforms are also free and we get 50% off food, sometimes free if you have a cool manager.
Cons: Hours can get long and mindless when not busy. During the slow season (January-April for us) hours are almost cut in half. Less hours equals low pay. Managers often ask you to go home early during this time which can be inconvenient. Customers are rude sometimes. When you first start, the first two weeks they only really give you 3-4 hour shifts.
