Pros

Reasonable pay, good benefits, good work/home ratio. Loved the job except for the growing paperwork and reports which served no purpose other than to micro manage.

Cons

Highly unqualified managers put into place because they played the political game. Large gap in women/men pay scale. Men got away with bar like behavior and if women didn't play the game they got blackballed. I'd probably still be there if it weren't for a couple of managers who weren't fit to manage a McDonald's

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
