It wasn't as bad as I thought
Pros: -You work with some characters
-Most people are working here as a summer job/temporarily to get through school, so they'll most likely be your age and you'll maybe even make some friends
-You learn humility
-You get to say you worked at McDonald's
-It's not as bad of a first job as you'd think.  You learn fast and do a lot.
-50% off McDonald's food! (not the dollar menu, though).
-You can easily stay for a little while and become a manager if that's what you're in to.
Cons: -You're working at McDonald's...
-Shitty hours, and sometimes after a busy night of closing, the manager will make you clock out and continue working to "keep the labor down."
-People call out a lot and you have to deal with being short staffed.
-Customers can be obnoxious.
-If it's a slow day, you may be asked to leave early (and they're mostly telling you to, not asking you to),which sucks because then you make less money.
-You make minimum wage or slightly above.
-Disorganized/Poor communication.  I tried to return a few months later during my school's winter break and they kept jerking me around.
