What employees say about McDonald's's competitors
It’s a good starting job if your just starting out
You won’t get as much hours as you would like because they constantly change your hours and give you less
Honestly none
I didn’t like it at all
Just working as hard as I can
I honestly just kept going over what a interviewer would ask you and it helped me prepare a lot for the interview especially cause I tent to get shy around new people that really helps me
In my experience McDonald’s industry average is probably not average
I don’t know what this means
Nothing did because its was out of control
Fast pace, never a dull moment
Running out of product to provide for customers
Bonuses and meeting new people
Learning to cook food many people love good pay the managers are precise but not ridiculously mean it's an overwhelming environment but I get to do something I love doing which is cooking for others the pay isn't bad for fast food
Sometimes crowded not enough coworkers people come in and fight each other sometimes co-workers don't show up for their shifts I have to stay much longer running out of things that customers ask for sucks because then I get yelled at for it
I gain experience In the food industry
