Pros

It's a good place for students to make a couple of bucks while they're in high school. Additionally, they are very flexible with scheduling (although I think this is mostly due to lack of an option as the other working conditions leave much to be desired). There are also decent incentives for full-time employees. Finally, McDonalds' teaches excellent lessons in stress management, time management, and flexibility for newbies on the job frontier, which will prove valuable in other jobs.

Cons

It's not the best place for people who can't move a million miles an hour. Also, there's the whole fact that it's McDonalds. Additionally, you leave work every day reeking of french fries.

Pros

If you are in high school or looking for your first job this is not a bad place to start off with. It gives you some customer service experience and general job experiece.

Cons

Lack of respect from peers and customers, smell of chip oil that doesn't seem to wash off, long shifts.

Pros

Conveniece and a good work experience. Usually, there are several people working whom you can talk to during slow periods or breaks, which can make work a lot less depressing. Because you do so many different things, finding a second job after his one is a much easier feat.

Cons

Overworked compared to other kinds of food retailers. Since it's a fast food restaurant, everything is fast paced and leaves very little time for any type of leisure - many managers will yell at you for not working even for a moment.
