Fast paced and productive place to work.
Area Leader (Former Employee), Dublin, D – May 24, 2013
Pros: free lunch, shift hours, friendly vibrant staff.
Cons: free food!
A typical day in work would entail a wide variety of tasks. From directing production of food in the kitchen to taking orders from customers on the drive-thru to counting cash in the office. It is a fast paced environment where you either sink or swim. Orders come thick and fast. You learn to work quickly and effectively in teams to produce the best – more... product possible. The management are demanding of their staff so as to produce the best results. McDonalds workers are generally cheerful and motivated with a friendly attitude. The job can be quite demanding as McDonalds requires the best standards. They employ a clean as you go method whereby you are never doing nothing or standing around. It is a great environment to learn and develop many skills needed in the working world. – less

Fun and enjoyable environment
Crew Member/Server (Former Employee), Selkirk, MB – May 21, 2013
Pros: had discount on food
Cons: uniforms were big
I served customers and worked the drive through. I would either take orders or put orders together. When closing the restaurant i would have to clean and sanitize work area. Managers were awesome. I would say the hardest part of the job is having to put orders together as fast as possible and keep the line going in drive thru. The most enjoyable part – more... of the job was dealing with children and people. – less

Fun place to meet new people.
Hostess (Former Employee), Dartmouth, NS – May 21, 2013
I had an uncomfortable experience, maybe at that location only.
I had chances for extra hours, but was given to someone they wanted
more. I also hated being told by 3 different supervisors how to do something,
each time I was doing it wrong. Not given the chance to work in different parts
of the restaurant. It was an ok place to be, too much stress!

Customer Service (Current Employee), Calgary, AB – May 20, 2013
It was wonderful working at McDonald's. I learned a lot from the company. Strongest asset that I have achieved from McDonald's is better customer service skills and multitasking.

Safe, Fun and Structured Work Environment
Team Leader (Current Employee), Leader, SK – May 19, 2013
Pros: long hours, hard working management, supportive management, outstanding training
Mcdonalds is an excellent part-time job and I would recommend that any individual who is offered the opportunity to work there takes it. Working at Mcdonalds is a challenging job as it requires you to work hard, stay motivated and positive and have extreme accuracy all at once. Although this job may not be the easiest part-time job, the company provides – more... each and every employee with the best training to ensure each individual feels safe, confident and does their job to the companies standard and the individuals capability. Working at Mcdonalds has truly shaped who I am as an individual today. It has made me a much more efficient worker, built up my customer service skills, improved my money handling skills and helped me to be able to develop an equal balance between working and socializing. Mcdonalds is truly an eye opener of a part time job and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a part-time job. – less

Pros: 50 percent discount
I would say Mcdonald's is a great place to work and it taught me alot. I learned how to work in a group setting with people and think on my feet. The only hard part of the job was maybe cleaning the dishes but overall the experience was great.

High achieving workplace with fast track promotions to management.
Shift Manager (Current Employee), Dublin, D – May 10, 2013

As part of a management team it is our responsibility to – more... get the best out of your staff members on a daily basis. This is achieved by putting the right people in the right place. – less
