"All in all, McDonald's was a good place to work. It teaches you patience, structure and hard work."

"It's sort of a crappy work place, you always feel gross when you leave. I feel like the company treats you like an ant, as it were. Inferior, in some way, to them. The store manager is nice, and most of the crew are nice too, but the area managers (people who actually own the local McDonalds) come in, yell at everyone, and leave. There are next to no benefits, and the owner is a complete cheapskate. I get 10 hours a week for my 45 submitted available, so I have a heck of a time making ends meet."

"This location is a franchise and doesn't offer the opportunity that a corporate store would. The pay is not as good either."

McDonald's Employee

"My company is so worried about saving pennies that they lose dollars. They expect perfection for a low pay rate. They talk a big game about taking care of their employees but they don't. All they care about is getting more money in their pocket. It's sad how many good people have left and are leaving because of how poorly they are treated from the owner down to their general manager."

"I've been working at McDonald's since 2008. It's a good place to start your working but I wouldn't make it a career."

"I worked for McDonald's for about 1 year. The company has a highly energized atmosphere. The management is very encouraging, and motivational from my experience. They are very efficient and set goals for employees and frequently praise their workers. However, work also becomes very competitive. Management is also overly critical, negative, and sometimes unrealistic. While teamwork is supported, both managers and coworkers ultimately love to make each other look bad."

"McDonald's as an organization is a very good company to be a part of. Unfortunately, there are some establishments that don't work so hard under the company's name. Depending on the location and the type of job atmosphere you're in will depend on your performances and overall outcome for advancement."
