McDonald's Reviews in Mississauga, ON (Canada)

Pros

Mcdonald's is great because it teaches you hard work! This job will prepare you for any job out there because it's so hard. Best thing is free food!

Cons

Getting burned by the french fry oil and dealing with ignorant and rude customers is depressing and degrading! Not a good place!

Advice to Senior Management

My advice to management is not to be so hard on the employees 'cause half of them are young and are not there to make a career out of it.

Pros

Needed a job as a teenager to save up for post secondary school. McD's helped me to develop some solid interpersonal and team work skills. Usually working in a fast paced environment also improved my abilities to make quick decisions. They also had a contest for essay writing in which the winner was rewarded a tuition scholarship. I never participated, but thought it was a pretty cool idea. Food was also offered at a 50% discount for all employees which came in handy during breaks. The freedom to specify available work hours was also helpful in managing a schedule that worked with studies.

Cons

Not much room for growth unless you wanted to be a store manager, but then again, most people don't really start working at the restaurants with big hopes of moving up the ladder. The uniforms were a bit uncomfortable, especially during longer shifts. Lobby shifts were horribly boring and usually given out to newer crew memebers as grunt work. 50% discount also adds weight.

Advice to Senior Management

offer a 75% discount to employees.
