Best thing
The fact you get opportunities to be the best or worst you can. It’s really a win or lose situation. You either win for the better or you don’t. I appreciate the opportunity they have given to me though.
Worst thing
Short staff, not even that really because we have enough employees but some employees should’ve gotten fired months ago! & on shifts where you should have plenty of staff so every shift runs smoothly they leave you understaffed & expect you to do YOUR work & the work of 3 other people COMBINED.

Best thing
At most times I can normally work at my own pace without any interruptions and normally get it done before my shift ends.
Worst thing
One of the shift managers I work with always interrupt me during my tasks I need to get done to do other things while she can't go and do it herself at half of the things that a typical manager would need to do without stopping another employee unless it gets busy enough to have me stop what I'm doing to help out.

Best thing
You get to learn communication skills as well as improve the speed you communicate in. You get to learn how to deal with impatience and disrespect from customers when it arises.
You get to make nice connections with your coworkers and even managers.Worst thing
Precisely the disrespect is what gets me. Not only from the customers, but from your own team. Share one thing to one of the people you work with, and suddenly everyone knows—suddenly rumors are going around. It's draining. Sometimes managers will scold others and use you as an example of "a good employee," causing other coworkers to resent you.

Best thing
nothing really except the discount you get on the day you worked you get 50% off a meal that doesn’t combine with any promos or deals and you can’t use your app when you get the discounted food
Worst thing
the work environment and the schedules and not the people the people are nice except some of the managers they speak like they are programmed to say certain things and the managers play favorites with the employees that have been there a while and it’s not easy working there as a beginning crew member

Best thing
The work friends
Worst thing
We are are unstaffed and if we're full staff we would has to send people home becuase of labor. Other i doing multiple people jobs for hour for end or my whole shift, it very overwhelming and stressful I'm used to now because I've doing it so long and I feel i unappreciate for the work I'm doing. I like I'm not getting paid enough and I only stay because they work with me on my hours and days.

Best thing
some of the friends I’ve made, especially with regulars who come through the drive-through on front counter every day you’d be surprised how many people have McDonald’s in their routine
Worst thing
The managers don’t have any way of communicating except yelling, and the customers can be really rude and impatient and demanding and you’re not really treated like a human being because “you work at McDonald’s”

Best thing
N/A
Worst thing
The management has no consideration whatsoever of your personal request. Management has no communication within each other, as well as the staff too. Ignorant management (the GM); Has no interest and in helping an employee whom they don’t understand. No respect towards staff. Has favorites in the staff and management. Cuts unnecessary hours for their mistakes. Oh yeah and doesn’t own up to any of their mistakes, actions, or failures, instead blames it on an innocent individual.

My supervisor is a good friend of mine, the early shifts, full paid vacation every year , being treated fairly and respectful

Lack of communication sometimes is annoying since I jump stores to help out, last minute scheduling, over ordering products and end up wasting half which decreases chances of getting raises and other benefits behind the scenes drama last the drive home is super stressful

Best thing
Simple work environment, well staffed, decent communication for the most part
Worst thing
Scheduling. Working a hybrid of second and third shift makes planning my life immensely difficult. Occasionally there are so many people that it starts to hamper operational efficiency. A lot of slack gets given to subpar workers and the rest of us get chewed out for subpar metrics.
