Pros

Good benefits, mandatory vacations. Every 5 years, managers get sabbatical--paid 3 months off. Great training program. Lots of opportunity for advancement. It's a tough job but corporate is fantastic giving its management team the best tools they can to be successful.

Cons

Long hours, irregular shifts are tough & make work/ life balance difficult. Taxing both mentally and physically. I worked in a franchise briefly and found all the cons but none of the pros. If you're thinking of managing at McDonalds, get into one of the corporate stores.

Pros

The customers, the crew, and the peacefulness of the community. The fact that u can rely on the crew and other managers in a tough situation to pull it together and keep it right.

Cons

Being short handed due to call outs, no shows, crew quitting, and lack of people on schedule. Trying to handle extra tasks when short and more responsiblities so u dont run ur crew into the ground.
