Pros

Overall i am very satisfied with McDonalds systems. A great management staff facilitates a productive work environment in which researchers work hand and hand with project developers to fine tune projects to suit the changing needs of a diversifying marketplace.

Cons

The nature of the work that McDonalds specializes in is intrinsically stressful for employees. This weight is difficult to bear. Meeting deadlines and maintaining a healthy social and family life is difficult. I find myself working odd hours and sometimes weekend to meet demands.

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.
