"I can say 3 because one bad experience doesn't define all. BUT with this chain you should consider that can swing both ways. Honestly I did not know what to expect, but the customer service was thumbs down. I've never been made to wait like that. I could tell by my reception as an applicant I ought not to think I'd thrive working there and it was a location in a rather decrepit area. I just thought the McDs here might be more... palatable. The manager didn't even smile. Go on and bail, your meal ticket, no one gives a damn whether you're coming or going."

"Right now, I feel that there are too many things that are being downloaded that should be done in a very short period of time. For me this is frustrating and simply not possible - information overload. There are too many products for test. Directions become unclear because of too much in mind!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"If I were running the system I would keep things simple. There are too many different directions! There are too many sub-products. Focus on the core menu, and do not have information overload."

"Been working with them for 4 years, at first it was alright, but countless entitled, stubborn, ignorant customers really wears on you. Typically I have to deal with them by myself because the rest of the staff is backline or the only manager on deck that has to cover for the lack of staff they can't fill. Despite this they insist on staying open later than others in the area. Store manager and regional manager are giant nags. Despite being perfectionists they do nothing to help but condescend, it's simply above their pay grade."

"Although this company was not the best of places to work at, It could have been worse."

"Not as exciting as it used to be, no overnight premium."
