Good First Job
Pros: Honestly, working at a McDonalds is almost an American rite of passage. It breaks you down, and builds you up; shaping you for the rest of your life as a working adult. You will see a lot of interesting customers, and meet a lot of cool people when you work here. I personally think this is the perfect job for someone in their last few years highschool, as a way to break themselves into the working world.
Cons: Extremely high expectations for such an average food establishment. Anything involving the food industry is going to have a few numb nuts here and there being down your back about how something is supposed to be done, but they refuse to give you the proper tools to do it. My franchise owner, as many are, tried to be tight with their money and frequently compromised the actual values of McDonald's, to fill the bill. Very annoying thing to have to contend with, and it is nearly impossible to move up in the company. As a side note, unless you apply with a degree, have previous experience being a manager, or work here for 6+ years, theres a very slim chance that you will ever be able to advance from a Cashier.
