Pros

It was very fun at first, there was a great store manager and everyone got along. Then our store manager transferred and our owner brought in a new one that had never even worked at mcDonald's before. She cares more about the outside view of our store than her employees. So it really shows the work environment at McDonald's can vary drastically.

Cons

It became a very stressful job where i felt over worked and completely disrespected. Although if our old manager was still there i would still work there.

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.
