"I am William Ashley I have a passion for training and developing a outstanding team. I offer ten years of GM/Training Manager experience. In my current job I am responsible for the successful business results and implementation of all training programs and in store training. I am able to expertly identify all training needs and then deliver appropriate instruction to keep employees abreast of needed information and updates. Additionally my exceptional analytical abilities and my writing and oral skills allow me to carefully create effective training guidelines and programs and to tap experts for delivery of specialized areas and information. My natural strengths combined with my extensive experience makes me a great choice for leadership in your company. I look forward and I’m willing to learn more. I enjoy my career and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I’ve been working for McDonald’s since 2007 with this same company. It’s a food company and the atmosphere is great."

"I have worked for McDonald's since I was 15 years old, so about half my life. It is a great first job with tons of opportunities to move up and skills that can be transferred to other professions. All in all, it is a great job that introduces you to the work-life and if you find yourself good at it, you can always move up."

"I've worked at my local McDonalds for over four years and the experience has been one I won't forget. The job can be stressful at times depending on how busy it may be but if you like the people you work with it can be a fun an enjoyable experience. I learned how to take change, stand up for myself, and in many ways how to run a business. It is an excellent first job."
