Pros

The application and interview process is pretty simple. There are many locations, so chances are the company will always be hiring with many locations to choose from in a particular area. They provide uniform so you don't have to worry about what to wear just provide slip resistant shoes. When it's busy, the hours go by faster. You get a free employee meal everyday. The hours can be flexible sometimes.

Cons

The hours aren't fixed, a new schedule is made every week with varying hours and days. You start off part time meaning you work under 30 hours. They pay minimum wage. But it's McDonald's, not really a career for me but something to do in my free time to gain customer service experience at the least.

Pros

Experience varies heavily depending on the owner/operator you work for. Free and discounted food. 2 weeks PTO. Vision, Dental and Health insurance. Offers rapid development opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance is nonexistent. In fact, the director of operations has stated numerous times, “Work life balance is a myth”. The company states you are required to work 45 hrs/week minimum; Realistically, GM’s can expect to work 55-60 hours in store with constant calls and messages when home. The company does not count any work done outside of the restaurant toward your 45hr requirement. There is no training for this position as you are expected to figure it out on the job. They offer $2000 per month performance bonus but are always finding new ways to disqualify you and move the goalposts when you actually earn it.
