Overall rating: 5/5
Employment status: current
Experience level: Junior

Corporate stores
Pros: Good benefits, mandatory vacations. Every 5 years, managers get sabbatical--paid 3 months off. Great training program. Lots of opportunity for advancement. It's a tough job but corporate is fantastic giving its management team the best tools they can to be successful.
Cons: Long hours, irregular shifts are tough & make work/ life balance difficult. Taxing both mentally and physically. I worked in a franchise briefly and found all the cons but none of the pros. If you're thinking of managing at McDonalds, get into one of the corporate stores.
