We also fully support employees who stay home from work if they are feeling sick. Read more about the ways we are prioritizing health here.

The Best First Job Since…
No matter your stage in life we have a job to fit your lifestyle.
Crew: On a McDonald’s restaurant crew, you’ll be a member of a tight-knit team, working together to prepare meals, take food orders, keep the restaurant clean, and bring smiles to customers’ faces with great service.

As a manager, you might keep team members on target to meet goals, plan for peak hours during shifts, and check in with customers to make sure everyone at your McDonald’s is happy and satisfied.
Most McDonald’s restaurants are operated by independent franchisees who are independent employers, and set their own employment policies and practices. Franchisees are the exclusive employer of their employees and as such are solely responsible for all employment related matters in their restaurants. McDonald's does not control the independent franchisees’ employment policies and practices and does not employ those working at franchised restaurants. McDonald’s and its franchisees are equal opportunity employers committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce.

It was easy. Answer the questions in complete sentences and you should be okay. It's an entry job, relax and be confident. What's the worst that could happen, you don't get the job. You'll survive to live another day, jobless, but you'll be okay.
