Working for McDonals is a great experience. There is much structure working the organization and a broad stream of culture with the work place.
What I wish was different
I wish I could learn more and improve my leadership abilities
Advice
Don’t put down a fast food worker, unless you have walked in there shoes. This job is not easy. It takes a lot of concentration and time management skills. You also have to be able to accomplish six tasks at once time in less than a minute. It is not easy.

Production Manager
May 2018 - August 2019 • Yale, MI
What I liked
My co-workers, and the work environment.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have taken time off, I never took a single day off all summer and unfortunately I missed out on a few family vacations and other events.
Advice
If you are willing to work long hours this is the place for you especially for a first job. I worked 5 - 3 almost everyday and sometimes was asked to work even longer, where as some co- workers would only work 8-11 its all about how much you are willing to work.
