Pros

it was a fun place to work but let your friends see you work there because its a bit embarrassing

Cons

It can be very tough to get the menu items right and putting stuff into the register is not fun. The bosses can be real D-Bags too

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

Depending on what store you choose, you'll be around fun people. Free food to an extent (some limitations). Incredibly flexible. Never thought I'd be able to get weekends off, especially in the summer. Definitely an awesome first job. You'll get experience with cash handling, dealing with customer complaints (a lot of experience), problem solving, food prep, multitasking, etc. It really isn't the terrible "McJob" everyone thinks it is. If you're in a good store, you can make it fun, take some of the stress out of it. It all depends on attitude.

Cons

Of course you'll deal with rude customers. Inevitable, really, given that you're really seen as the lowest of the low as far as entry level jobs are concerned. Management is always reluctant to take responsibility for anything. It's always someone else's fault. Sometimes you'll get the managers that hide in the office and text all day. Some employees in my store, at least, speak little or no english, which makes it difficult to communicate quickly.
