I wish I had never worked there.

: McDonalds is the pride of the fast food industry. I have been working for four months at the 273rd store to be established in America (there are now tens of thousands) I admit i hate parts of my job but overall I love it. The opportunity is amazing for someone my age (17) Next year I start college. How many people can start college with expierence running a 2 million dollar operation? Not any of the employees of the competitors. And what many of the whiny customers blame on McDonalds in general are conditions you will only find in a corporate run store. In a licensee store you will find the encouragement of diversity and plenty of room to move upwards. All it takes is a little ambition. I know...

I work for a Burger King now, and I am far happier there than I ever was at McDonalds. We have an assistant store manager who is 16. I like it way better it's much cleaner, and no one is harassing me or trying to make me sleep with them. I have no pride in the job I had at Mickey D's. I wish I had never worked there.
