Good as a first job
Pros: Working at McDonald's was a fun easy first job, and exactly how you'd think it'd be.
You can get horrible customers however all the staff are lovely and genuinely fun to be around.
The job is pretty simple and my managers were always very kind when it came to booking time off too.
Cons: Since there were so many staff, at times of the year where it was busy it would be difficult to get a substantial amount of hours a week (due to it being a 0 hour contract). Sometimes even if I applied for extra shifts they weren't approved.
Also, during busy times of the year, it wasn't unusual to receive multiple 9 and 10 hour shifts in a row, for me this was a pro because I enjoyed longer shifts, however I imagine for many this would be a negative.
