Pros

Time off, ability to volunteer and develop professional educational growth

Cons

The two organizational areas I worked in were absolutely a mess. The structures were all over the place, politics and the amount of nepotism in both areas were just down right insulting!

Go corporate over Franchise

Pros

Close, everyone knows everyone depending on how long you've been there. Promos may or may not come with a free t-shirt and other merchandise. Very good opportunities to advance. One free meal a day including 50% off 30 minutes before and after your shift. Very laid back. Very good with flexible scheduling. I had a lot of amazing moments here that helped me grow as not only a worker but as a person.

Cons

Some franchises cheat the good employees out of promotions, raises to give them to the employees that give management info and/or brown nose. Not very much room to advance compared to corporate-owned McDonald's. They will forever go off of your availability from your application when you were hired no matter how long you work there and how much your life changes.
