McDonald's FAQ

Pros

My management did their best with what they had. If you work hard, you will get raises. Flexible scheduling. No consequences for missing a day here or there (no points or anything). 50% discount on days you work is pretty good, and managers will give out free meals often.

Cons

Customers are awful. Employees mostly consist of apathetic teenagers. The restaurant was overall pretty gross. At my current job I get paid more and work less hard than I did at McDonalds. Raises by a few dollars would be nice, but not as much as $15.

Advice to Management

Give more incentives to work harder. Do routine checks of all restaraunts and make sure employees are following health regulations.

Medical and dental benefits offered are fully paid by employee

Advice to Management

Do more employee meetings and more research into store managers through other employee experiences around the store

Pros

Flexible schedule, great insurance, company matched 401K

Cons

As a manager you could be scheduled to work a couple 6am shifts as well as overnights in the same week, often with only one day off between the switch. Almost never get 2 consecutive days off

Advice to Management

Focus on your people and their work/life balance. I worked for McDonald's for 25 years. It used to be fun. Upper management cared about what was best for their employees and in return employees cared about the customers. In recent years there has been a shift in focus and upoer management only cares about the money. Hourly rates are not competitive.
