Featured Review
"Amazing group of managers and crew."Feb 14, 2019
I worked at McDonald's part-time for more than a year
Pros
Being a part-time worker allowed students to focus on other important things such as school while earning money to support themselves.
Cons
The customer service experience can be bad depending on the area.
Advice to Management
Please listen to your crew more.
"Great Job for someone with no outside life"Nov 11, 2019
I worked at Starbucks full-time for more than 10 years
Pros
Great benefits, wonderful stock options, fair compensation (for particular high volume stores) Great culture and Community
Cons
No work life balance. If a partner called out then it was known that the store manager had to fill in. This created overworked, stressed out, burned out management. This then created negativity... within the workplace. There were also promises of promotions that never came to reality.
