Usually alright overall.
Pros: Flexible hours that work around your schedule. Request for days off have always been given with no questions asked, as long as you ask in advance. Other employees are usually helpful and kind. Online training program for all areas of resturaunt. Long days of work are compensated by short or off days later in the week. Always hiring to fill up many vacancies, usually nights and weekends. Free meal for every shift, 50 percent off all other meals if you visit that particular restraunt at any other time. 25 percent off at all other Mcdonalds.
Cons: If you say you are available for a whole day, you might get an 8 hour day that streches your schedule a little. Hours can be long and sometimes manegement can't schedule a break for everyone even if it's required. On the other side, if you are available evenings, you might get scheduled many short (2 hour) shifts for the whole week, which isn't always fun if you live across town or a little farther away. Sometimes it always seems like there should be an extra person here or there to speed things up. Manegers are constantly obsessed about drive thru times and the hourly number of transactions. Corporate stores do not have raises for crew members, and shift managers' wages aren't much better. Some training happens on the spot because it gets super busy, and if you don't know what to do you may be critisized.
