Pros: free lunches but only 1 sandwich from dollar menu, small fries and small drinks. meet new peopl
Cons: short breaks, sometimes rude customers, managers don't really appreciate all the hard work you do, cheap, they do not like giving raises.
the hardest part is always trying to smile and be nice, especially when you are having a bad day

Fun, fast pased environment with excellent cooworkers
Crew Member (Current Employee), Danville, CA – May 17, 2013
Pros: free food when working, cheaper food when off the clock
Cons: few shifts, usually during unfavorable hours
The people I work with are all enthusiastic and great to work with, including the managers. We recently had the managers that were working at my location get switched out with other people, and they were just as great of people as the people I started with. Every day I work, everybody is on task and gets their work done on time or even early.

Just – more... like every other job I have had that involves helping as many people daily as I do, there will always be the people who come in to cause trouble. It's tough, but I find it more of a challenge than a problem. When I encounter somebody like that, I take pride in being able to calm the situation down and have them leave in a better mood than they came in with. – less

Highly productive workplace with fun people
Shift Supervisor (Former Employee), Casselberry, FL – May 17, 2013
A typical day involved making sure that everything was in place to give out the best customer experience. Making sure that all the food was fresh and made quickly, and that everyone was friendly. Stocking things so that we wouldn't run out during service, and dealing with any hiccups as they arose.

I learned how to communicate with other people in – more... high stress situations. Yelling at people will not get you what you want, and it's also not the right way to treat people. Communication is key.

Management gave out excellent service, but failed at the managing side. As a whole, this company has a specific role that managers are supposed to accomplish, and they weren't given the right tools to do that. However, they still did an amazing job with everything else.

My coworkers were always energetic, hardworking, and fun to be around. This made me enjoy working there very much.

The hardest part of the job was meeting deadlines. There was a set amount of time before food had to be ready to serve, and with a lot of orders to make, that made it hard, but we were always able to pull through. – less

a good first job or job while going to school
Cashier (Current Employee), Oklahoma City, OK – May 17, 2013
Pros: employyees and customer and worked around school schedule
Cons: one break and some coworks dont or understand english
This job grew on me. At first, it was a challenge because some of your coworkers spoke Spanish and didn't understand or spoke English. After awhile you start to learned some Spanish or at least a few phases that help was important throughout the day. There is always something to do except on those days when its really slow days when everything is done.

I enjoyed working with my co-workers and management.
Crew Member (Former Employee), Ozark, MO – May 17, 2013
A typical day at work was gathering orders or handing the orders out to customers in the drive-thru. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with my co-workers. The hardest part of my job was when it seemed like everything was so unorganized which made the day more stressful.

Mcdonalds
Crew Trainer, cook (Former Employee), Sun City, AZ – May 17, 2013
Pros: some free food. hard work experience
Cons: no benifits at all
McDonald is just interested getting the work covered and not about advancement or work/ life balance. No real room for advancement. The co-workers and customers were the best part of the job. Cooking is hard work, fast paced.

PRODUCTIVE AND FUN PLACE TO WORK
crew member (Current Employee), Blakely, GA – May 17, 2013
Pros: smile, say thank you, and ur welcome alot
Cons: try to remember same customers who come everyday.
Our crews are unique. We have dayshift crew that are really fast hard workers to meet deadlines and customer satisfaction. Then we have night shift that have to live up to customer exspectations because these customers come late at night and exspect everything hot and fresh.

Productive and enjoyable enviroment
Crew Member (Former Employee), Fresno, CA – May 17, 2013
A typical day at work would be helping out customers and packing their order for them. What I learned from Mcdonalds was being helpful and showing myself as good manner. My coworkers were productive and helpful as well. The hardest part was of course when it gets quite busy and you dont have much workers on the floor, but those times are the most fun – more... and productive. – less

Fast food
Cashier (Former Employee), Fort Lauderdale, FL – May 17, 2013
Day at work someone coming into the workplace during lunch hours asking to get another coffee because their coffe spilled on them on the way to work. you learn to handle the situation. the mnagers are stricter the coworkers gossip but again the hardest part is trying to keep yourself out of drama because you can do the by befriend the wrong person. – more... the most enjoyable part of th job drive thru taking orders because you have different task the you take on thats keeps you busy – less
