What are perks and other benefits like at McDonald's?

Flexible hours, minimum of 40 sick hours a year.

Not many opportunities for growth with the new wage increase, hours are being cut by corporate, no PTO, no special benefits, no vacation pay. Working under pressure is a must.

Offers many skills and knowledge necessary in a short amount of time, amazing benefits and advancement opportunities! One of few employers for children to work in that offer college tuition assistance.

I personally do not have anything negative to say.

Very open hiring--anyone looking to work is given a chance Coworkers are often the highlight of your day Free shift meal

Management pushes for time-based goals that are often impossible to consistently reach; Such as every car supposed to be making it through the drive thru in 2 minutes, which is usually prevented by the time it takes a person to order or the speed that the drink machine runs. Most offers made in regards to benefits with employment are never met, such as a 30% discount on orders through the app that was never given. The free shift meal is limited to orders up to $8.50, which isn't even enough money for most of the meals at McDonalds. Many employees would instead have to bring food or settle for eating just a burger and maybe a drink.

Has some great employee benefits and great flexibility

Sometimes it is tough when busy.

Pretty easy to get free food and you can have really easy days

You usually get some of the worst staff known to man, horrible management, terrible hours, abuse of "part time" employees (they get scheduled hours just under 40 so that they can work an almost 40 hour week with no benefits), customers are basically trained to be impatient and horrible, stores are a constant mess and health hazard, and I could go on. I had so many mornings where I would wake up and wonder if killing myself would be a better alternative than going to this horrible job

Surprisingly good benefits such as tuition and vacation time

No set schedule, so it is hard to plan free time

Good benefits and pay, good work environment.

Not much cons good job

Great schedule benefits and ability to move forward

90% of the managers at my restaurant are teenagers that don't really take the managing side seriously. Lots of bullying from fellow crew members and managers, barely any managers I feel like I could TALK to and be taken seriously. Been working there for 3 years but still haven't been trained on everything, despite asking.
