My McDonald's experience 2.5+ years
Pros: Working at McDonald's have its perks. First, working there entitles you to free coffee, tea and fountain drinks. When you're not working and would like a bite to eat at McDonald's, flash your Platinum card and get 50% off meals. Platinum cards also have their perks such as discounts with VIA rail, Apple, Soft Moc and Pay less shoes etc. Most of the time, hard work goes noticed and comes in the form of free food! McDonald's also have a lot of workers therefore there will always be hours if you need anymore than your scheduled shifts such as crew calling in sick or more than expected volumes. It is also perks when you need to give away shifts because most of the time management will figure things out or asking doesn't hurt. Last but not least, you meet tons of people who are a blast and getting by shifts are breeze because we work as a team! Communication is really key for a busy business like McDonald's! Working your way up at McDonald's looks good on resumes mainly because their work ethics and strategies on tackling volumes and projecting products being sold (management wise). McDonald's have Insurance for those working full time.
Cons: Make sure you are prepared to walk a ton! There are many positions at McDonald's you may work throughout the day so if you sweat through your feet I advise to have two pairs of shoes ready for extra precautions to prevent blisters. You also may stay at a position for a while maybe 2-3 hours. Positions incluse making drinks ice cream,  running for window or drive thru, lobby, going for parked orders, bun pull, you name it!  For people working at production it can get hot!
