What I liked

My coworkers and the general environment were very fun and made the terrible customers a laughing matter to ease the stress of dealing with them.

What I wish was different

I wish the customers weren’t so rude to the staff. They expected us to know everything like if we didn’t have to learn & as if we are superhuman

Advice

Be prepared to be yelled at, cussed out but most importantly disrespected. If you are a female, you will get hit on by the drunk customers and even sober ones

What I liked

I liked my coworkers, and the proximity to my house.

What I wish was different

Wish that I could've had more choice over my schedule.

Advice

Don't expect working at McDonalds to be glamorous. It is a good job for someone just entering the workforce. Unless you are a manager it does not require many skills and can be quite boring. You just have to make the most fo your time there by building relationships with your coworkers and customers, because if you don't, there isn't much to look forward to.

What I wish was different

I wish that the customers had been nicer (people often get very impatient with fast food workers).

Take a service job for at least some period of time. It gives you perspective on what people in the industry go through and gives you a good work ethic.

What I liked

I liked learning how to work well with others and enhancing my skills in communication.

What I wish was different

I wish that I could have taken more of a leadership role so I could have more experience with that skill.

Advice

McDonald’s is a great place to work. There’s a lot to learn there even though a lot people view fast food as “less than”. Down the road, it offers just as much importance compared to a “normal” office job.
