They wouldn't promote me or give me a proper raise, even though I had the experience and drive, because I became only summer available.

Crew member
May 2017 • Ontario, CA
What I liked
I enjoyed the people I worked with and the customers I would come across from time to time. I learn a lot during my interactions with the many people I came across.
What I wish was different
I wish we had better working conditions. The job was very demanding especially since we were always deficient on something (i.e. ice cream machine was always broken, A/C would break down over the summer).
Advice
McDonald’s is enjoyable as a starter job! I learned so much for it being my first job. I definitely learned a lot about customer service and understood the workings of a fast-food restaurant, I definitely have a lot more respect for people who work in the food industry.
