It is what it is
Pros: The best thing about working for McDonald's is the flexible hours. The managers at my store realized that most of us were more concerned with school and our personal lives than we were with work.
Cons: The pay is low, of course. There are plenty of opportunities for promotions, but they really aren't worth it. A promotion usually means an enormous increase in responsibility for a very modest increase in pay. I actually feel worse for the shift managers and assistant store managers than I do for the crew members.
My store manager makes decent money, but it took her 15 years of hard work to get to that point.
