The workers could have shown better team work.
bisquit maker, pancakes, grill cook (Former Employee), Moultrie, GA – January 11, 2013
Pros: yes. free lunches were permissable
Cons: the breaks were fair/ no healthcare.
Working at McDonald's was okay but if management had been more productive in creating team flow and not just sales it could have been a more enjoyable experience for all.

it was a good place to work at
Cashier (Former Employee), Revere, MA – December 22, 2012
Pros: free luch
Cons: did't get paid for breaks and no raises
a typical day at McDonald's was like any other job i worked at 6am 5 days a week and got out at 2 pm i liked working early because i was going to be able to get out early it depend what day it was how busy or slow the day went by. I learned many things like how to talk to costumers and working at a fast paste.My co-workers were the best they were all – more... friendly and i got along with everyone we worked as a team and that was the best.The hardest part of the job was when it got really busy and we ran out of something and we had to find a way to get the product fast make no mistakes and keep the costumers happy.I enjoy working there was practically because of team work everyone got along. – less

In macdonald's
Cashier (Former Employee), Chicago, IL – November 14, 2012
I remember having bad experiences because of the managers that used to work there. I always gave my best but for any specific reason, they had attitude but I never gave any bad impression because the most important for me there was the job.

just a job

Pros: free lunch
Cons: long hours
it could be fun at time but that was more based on the staff rather than the job. other than that it was just a job to get money.

cooking at Mcdonalds
Cook (Former Employee), New Westminster, BC – December 31, 2012
Pros: lots of incentives to advance
I started working part time while I went to school (college)
It was good steady income.
I learned how to work hard, i aslo learned that if it looked like there was nothing to do, find something to do.
Co workers were interesting, ages from 16-+
Hardest part would have to be working under extreme pressure with a rookie beside you that you had to be patient – more... with.
Very flexible. – less

Quick-paced, great training program, friendly team
Cashier (Former Employee), Oakville, ON – November 18, 2012
Pros: 75% off all food items
Working at McDonald's was very welcoming and taught me many skills necessary to work in a stressful and fast-paced environment. A typical day at work would include me arriving with full motivation and will power to accomplish a successful day of customer service. I learned how to handle obstacles in stressful situations, time management, how to work – more... co-operatively and successfully in a team, as well as, individually. The management was quite disappointing and unprofessional, I didn't feel very comfortable working in stressful situations because i found that they added to the stress instead of assisting in the relief o it. However, I know that I have to adapt to the working conditions in order to be successful at that work placement so I learned to deal with the stress. – less
