Working at McDonalds........?

Question

I heard working at McDonalds is a total DRAG! Is it really all that bad, or do people just try and scare you. I don't really see how it could be THAT bad......

Answer 1

I worked there for 2 1/2 years.  It can at times be a drag but other times it is totally fun.  You have to be a hard worker to enjoy the job.  You are underpaid and overworked but where I worked the people were so great.  They are the only thing that kept me around so long.  I became a manager and almost certified (just below assistant manager) before I quit.  I say if you cant get a better job, then enjoy the people all low paid jobs are the same.  If you can get a better job, like I did, then go for that.  But if you gotta work, you gotta work.  Some people cant put up with it.  I know there were so many times I said I wanted to quit.  They are really bad at promoting people.  They promote people who dont deserve it and not the people that do.  After bugging them finally after 1 1/2 years I became manager and as soon as I did they realized they should have done it long ago and they wanted to promote me again just after being promoted...crazy people

Answer 2

Me neither but that's basically what I hear... Altho My sis WANTED a job there... (Weirdo) lol...j.k

Answer 3

My mom quit after the first day when she tried to work there in college. They work you until the last second they can, they are rude and bossy. My friend worked there for 3 years and never got promoted, you have to really really kiss up to the manager's if you want a small raise. It sucks. There are better places to work, Mc donald's is for those with no Diploma. :)

Answer 4

depends on which one you work at and where its located... i lived in MA for 23 years and the people there were soooooooooo rude! now i live in SC and the people there are sooo friendly!!

Answer 5

I have worked at 2 different McDonalds. I loved working and the first one because it was run by good honest people and they enjoyed what they did. The second one i was a manager at at i hated working there. It just depends on how the store is run.

Answer 7

Look MacDonald's is how you make it. remember McDonald's is a fast food restaurant you will have the good and the bad as with all jobs. Its what you make it I currently work at one in Miami, and the thing that keep me going is knowing its only a temporary job. It is not my career, as soon as I get my degree I'm leaving. Make the best out of ever situation and you will be fine.

Answer 8

depends on the manager and crew. if you work with fun people, a fast food job can be tolerable, sometimes ever fun.  if you work with a bunch of jerks, yes, it can suck.
