A good first-job experience - Anonymous employee McDonald's Employee Review

Food and coworkers and friendships made

Long hours at times and can be hot in the kitchen

Good first job but don't stay for more than 2 years unless you get promoted to a manager.

Job has low pay. Won't give you raises unless they promote you, you are treated the same as a new hire even if you have 2 years of experience. Crew members have no say in anything, they claim when you become a crew trainer your opinion matters.
