      Generally what you'd expect

      Pros

      McDonald's has a reputation for hiring just about anyone, and that was helpful for me when I needed short-term employment. Working with customers can be a satisfying experience, and some managers put a lot of effort into their work. Employees get a free meal, with a few restrictions on what you can get. Flexible scheduling.

      Cons

      On the other hand, the fact that getting hired by McDonald's is so easy works against it. Most of the employees and even some of the managers are apathetic and contribute only the bare minimum. I found that no matter how much slack I tried to pick up from others, it was never enough to keep things running smoothly. There is practically no morale or work ethic. Customers are generally upset by the lack of service. The store is dirty, and nobody seems to notice or try to change this. Much of the equipment is old and works poorly. Pay is the legal minimum across the board. Raises are minuscule to nonexistent. Opportunities for advancement are there, but the pay increase associated is so small that a different entry level job will often pay more than a management position at McDonald's.

      Pros

      Its a job in a hard job market... Easy to get hours if you are competent enough to do the easy work

      Cons

      can't expect much than what you get...More appreciation for the work you do would be nice
