McDonald's reviews

- You will often be in charge of filling other people's roles when no one else can, and you'll get flak for it Like most positions in McDonald's, you're trained a bit in all roles. Cooking, using the register, taking orders out, etc. With this specific position, you can be assigned to any of these when no one else is able to fulfill that role at the moment. Being in charge of other people's roles isn't the issue, it's when other coworkers who don't know you're assigned to that role temporarily that will get mad at you for doing it despite being told to. No one's manning the registers? You'll do that, and it's not a big deal. Someone else doesn't know you're using their register, they get mad for you not being where you should be even if you don't need to be there at the moment. It can get annoying explaining yourself constantly, but that's only a tiny tiny con about this position.

Because of it's passion for traditions, corporate management has trouble creating true change where it is needed. Also, while the family culture can be wonderful, relationships play too big a part with the franchisees' respect (or lack of) for their corporate counterparts. Those who "came up through the restaurants" are sometimes given preferential treatment and are put into positions for which they do not have the skills or talent. I found compensation to be low compared to other companies that hire for my area of expertise.
