Employment at McDonald's Restaurants

I've been working for McDonald's part-time for about a month now. I'm still at school, and have been desperate for a job since June to help me save up so I can move out of home when I go to university (I hope!!). I tried hard, to no avail, over the summer and McDonalds seemed like my only hope. After my several applications to various restaurants online, I finally got a phonecall inviting me to an interview. Amanda asked what time would suit me. As soon I as turned up, I was thrust into a 15 minute OJE (On-Job Evaluation) which was terrible. I was put on the drive through and without any training whatsoever was expected to give people sauce, read ...  Read the complete review

----------------------------------------- WORKING AT MCDONALD'S ----------------------------------------- I worked at MacDonald's for about 7 months when I was at university. I was a full time student at university, but my schedule meant that I only had lectures 3 days a week, which left me with plenty of time to fit in a part-time job.

They were advertising job vacancies, so I decided to apply. ============= Before I go on though, I want to issue the disclaimer that this is an ...  Read the complete review

I worked for McDonald's last year for about 7 months, and I must admit, there were some good bits, but on the whole, it was not my cup of tea. I will touch briefly on the application process. Nowaday, all applications are done online, where you can be a Customer Care Assistant or a Crew Member. You fill in your details, and do a survery, with questions like what would you do if a young mother, with 4 children and lots of bags, came in to buy some food. This is all fairly straightforward and would be hard to fail this test. About a week later I went for an interview, where I had a tour of the restaurant and told the manager about my availability etc. ...  Read the complete review

I worked at Mcdonalds from 1986 to 1989, i had a great time, i made friends which i still have today, We were allowed to have free food at our lunchtimes depending on how many hours we did on that shift, ie the more hours the more you could spend on your lunch. But after a while working there you really dont want to eat the food, because you either cook it all day or serve it so you do get sick of eating it. The managers were very strict though, they didnt like it if you stood still you had to be doing something! when no customers had been in for a while say a Sunday lunchtime which was always quiet, we couldn't stand still we had to clean floors, surfaces, ...  Read the complete review
