Brilliant first job with good career pathway if you want to make a career at McDonald's
Pros: Flexible working so you can work around studies or family commitments.

A young atmosphere with an excellent social life.

Free food when working.

Excellent benefits such as private health insurance (after 3 years continuous service) and employee discounts in other retailers.
Cons: Relatively low pay when compared with other retailers offering employment for 16-18 year olds.

Shifts are only published with less than a weeks notice which makes it difficult to plan your life.

Poor training procedures in store- crew seem to work one station for over a year without receiving training in other parts of the store.

Shifts constantly short staffed due to lax disciplinary policies making it difficult to discipline/terminate employees that engage in absenteeism.
