Okay job if you are still in school.
Pros: During the busy months like summer you get good hours over 30 at-least maybe 38. They are always up for you working over time because someone didn't care to come in or they are just slammed in drive thru and front counter! The McDonald's I work for Is always busy during the days! Working 6am-3pm isn't necessarily bad just exhausting waking up so early every morning for minimum wage and being put to do two drive thru lanes by yourself plus the back cash window also being asked to make parfaits, tea and arrange all of prep for the table for lunch at the same time oh and don't forget all the dishes pilled high to the ceiling. It's extremely stressful job and not for lighthearted people who cant handle criticism at its worst and i mean worst! Very hard job to do since one person has so many task while having so many customers. Customers like to treat you horrible for some reason I have had customers cuss me out, throw change in my window at me to drop all over the place making my draw short also having customer's hand me plastic baggies full off random change and drive off from my window before i can count it all that wasn't even enough to cover there total making my draw short, customers throwing drinks at us through the window. But then you have other customers who have hearts and are very polite caring and considerate! I always love seeing my regulars every morning! They never fail to put  a smile on my face! Which these customers makes this job worth doing and remind me why i am still doing what i do! And working here has taught me that not everyone is going to be your friend and sometimes you have to stay strong and be an adult and not let others opinions get to you! Yes i may work for a fast food company at minimum wage! But at least i can say i wake up at 5am every morning and get to work on time never miss any of my shifts and i work hard for my money to pay my bills on time every month to support myself! Yes i may be a young adult but i do whats need to be done!
Cons: Lack of sleep due to having to be at work so early! Having them switch your shifts around from my usual 6-2 or 3 to have to come back in that same day to work 10-6am.  It feels like the company is more for themselves,  then there employees. Also if you are in back cash you will never get off at your exact time most of the managers give your a new draw an hour before you are suppose to leave to cover themselves with there safe. and then they will leave you back there for the rest of the night if you don't make it aware to your store manager. :[
