Why is McDonalds known as the crapiest place for employment?

I have applied to alot of places, and mcdonalds seems to be the only place that hired me. But the thing is, i dont know if i should work there, after all, i do need money, and a job is a job. But alot of people had told me that it’s a crappy job, and aswell, it seems like other people look down on the people that work at Mcd . & i dont wanna be made fun of .. Any advice ?

Answer #1

Around here Mcdonalds is a pretty good job to have, they pay above minimum wage, give medical benefits, and also give grants and scholoships to those who work there and want to go to school pretty often. People who look down on fast food workers are ignorant…there is no shame in working there.

Answer #2

At your age, McDonald’s is actually a very good place to start out. If you’ve never worked before, you’re not going to get a good job, but working at a place like McDonald’s will gain you the work experience you need so that you can move further up the employment ladder. Don’t let people put you off - it’s actually a great opportunity, and believe me, there are far worse places to work.

Answer #3

I agree with Colleen, even though I wasn’t hired. At a young age, it’s a good place for a teen to start out in the business world. It was my moms first job, as well as my best friend Kayla’s.

It’s only crappy if you look at it that way, or if the location is in a bad area. Don’t give up so easily, give it a try.

Answer #4

MCD is the suckiest job because it is greasy causing zits and it gets paid under min wage (6.75) i have a friend who works there and she hates it but it was her last choice

Answer #5

Find another place that fits your needs, not everyone that works there likes it, but it’s a job to work at.

Answer #6

Oh, where does she live? Because here, in Ontario, minimum wage is 10.25, for students its 9.60 .

Answer #7

Hmm, about the area, its not the ‘best’ .. its at Falstaff.

Answer #8

some of them dont pay you very much. and theres the fact that its a job that wont last, theyll get rid of you when they need to, they really only employ young people now, and theres are just so mnay people applying for a job there. however mandyloo and colleen are right. its a good place to start working to get the expirience and references you will need to work your way up to a better job

Answer #9

Because they like to fatten America up so we’re the most obese country in the world. That’s why. :P
