Pros

A good reason a person would want to work for McDonald's is that it doesn't require any previous training. Every skill needed to perform your job properly is taught on-site. McDonald's also offers very flexible work hours, and it is generally easy to negotiate time-off without too many problems.

Cons

Though it may be fair for the industry, the pay is not nearly sufficient. The only people this kind of work is good for are those who are not primary bread-winners for their households. Also, some of the management will not hesitate to sacrifice fairness to employees for success of the business. People are often treated unfairly and completely ignored in order to achieve some insignificant goal.

Pros

You could recieve free meals during and right after your shift,as well as free drinks, ok work life balance for part time,

Cons

Working environment was highly unprofessional and toxic at the time, workers would call customers the r slur behind their back as well as using the r slur at every given opportunity,I would work around 7 or 6 hours and would sometimes go weeks of shifts without getting any kind of break . The only sort of break you get is from using the restroom. Sometimes people would not communicate on schedules. I had a day unavailable because I was attending community college at the time,they called me right as I was headed into class and I assumed it was spam as I didnt recognize the number ,the next day they got upset with me for no showing,when I had been open about what times I was available and unavailable since the interview and management knew. Everyone always in a bad mood,customers and staff. Was not trained to do certain things and then would have management upset with me for it. Draining experience, also unfriendly to autistic people.
