Working here was so awful that I only lasted in the place for four months!! My main problem with the job was the rubbish training (this was because they didn't have 'enough' staff on). I got placed in the kitchen which is awful I'm covered in scars from my burns, and only got trained doing a few things meaning I could not handle the station by myself and had to have other people all the time to help me, usually the employers who was with me just walked off whilst I got a order through I couldn't do as in all of four months I never got proper training and was usually used to mop and sweep the kitchen floor most of the time. The next thing that was awful was ...  Read the complete review

You'll ask me if I really don't like the job why would I spend three years. Well when you don't have better you go for best or if you don't have best, will choose bad one.I started in 2009 and then worked as Crew Trainer. Even though my store manager was intersted in to make me Manager but at the end job is not worth it. Crew get paid 6.10/ year over 22 and as Crew Trainer I was getting 9p more then normal staff. :) Funny.Even you'r Manager you still running on floor and checking burgers.

I was planning on working at McDonalds for six months so I could save up some money to go travelling. I thought I could handle it because it was only for six month but my god, I have never worked in such a disorganised, rude environment. On my first day one of the managers, before even introducing himself or saying hello, shouted at me in front of everybody for not having the correct shoes on even though the people at the orientation never properly explained to us what kind of shoes we needed (I wasn't wearing ridiculous shoes either, they were flat, black, closed toe with quite a high top). It didn't get much better from there. I was working in the ...  Read the complete review

I worked in McDonalds when I was 17 to earn myself some money whilst going through college. Before I started I was absolutely dreading it because of the reputation of people who work there and it was also my first job. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting but I wouldn't exactly recommend it as the best place to work either! The majority of the staff who worked there were lovely and really tried to make me feel comfortable and welcome in my new role and a lot of them were my sort of age which made it a bit easier settling in and having a laugh at work. Also, you get a discount card once you have been there long enough (3 months I think which I didn't manage!) ...  Read the complete review

I've currently been working at McDonald's for 12 weeks or so, and to start off with, it is not as bad as people think. The employment there comes with it's benefits. For instance, being a teenager, everyone there is my age. We have a right laugh, it makes the hours fly by easily. There is always work to be done, there have been few times I've been stood with nothing to do. It is very easy to move up the career ladder, Crew member -> crew trainer -> shift manager, all possible in 2 years. The pay is so-so, probably not worth he amount of work I do. the disadvantages however come thick and fast - the CONSTANT burns, from grills, fryers, spitting oil. ...  Read the complete review
