Pros

The best reasons to work at McDonald's would be to get free food after work and to realize that you have to do better with your life.

Cons

The downside of working at McDonald's was that the co-workers were immature. Even though it was a fast food place, professionalism should still be there.

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.
