McDonald's Employee Review
A good start but shouldn’t be permanent
Crew Trainer (Current Employee) - Hamilton, Waikato - 15 August 2022
I’ve been here for almost 2 years. It’s a good first job but you gotta be able to handle stress. I’m a CT/Barista & you will have to work with and serve the worst people in the entire planet. Sometimes it’s a good shift but do not stay here for the long run. Hustle & leave once you’re financially stable. BUT rostering is good. Flexible for teenagers.

Fun and good experience
Crew Trainer (Former Employee) - Wellington City, Wellington - 13 December 2022
a good place to work as a student. very flexible hours and very chill if it's quiet. but some managers are very rude to the staff. they just keep telling people what to do but they themselves just want to do nothing.
Pros
discount or free meals. travel fees
Cons
bad managers

Making do with bad management
Crew Trainer (Former Employee) - Auckland - 28 November 2022
Training given was bare minimum and was also made to feel like a burden. But once you get the hang of it, everyday is a breeze. Upper management will only come in during one of those health checks where they'll just spend more time yelling at you and making your job harder than helping out. Lower management really tries their best and are usually chill as long as you do a good job. The thing that will really make or break your experience is whether your co-workers are good or not.

Bad pay and long hours
Staff member (Former Employee) - Hamilton, Waikato - 23 January 2023
Pay is minimum wage, with small increases if you are a Crew trainer. hours can be 10 or so into the night. You get 50% off the favourite range and a free small soft drink. Not worth it at all.
Pros
Flexible shifts
Cons
Hours and pay
