Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
My job role is quite simple, is serving customers with a smile, whilst giving them a pleasant experience to the best of my ability. My job role can change depending on what time i am scheduled, for example, a morning shift i will be helping set the store up, whilst night time shifts are more cleaning and closing the store.

There’s is always something new going on in my workplace. We hold crew do events yearly, where we all get together and celebrate, similar to a party, we hold charity events too, to raise money for RMHC, and we even do sports events occasionally that all crew can take part in.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend McDonald's to a friend?
Yes
Why?
McDonald’s is a very friendly environment for anyone to work in. It’s very common for you to find people with very similar interests as you, and you can make lifelong friends. The hours are flexible ands having time off is very accessible. Anyone is welcome and everyone is treated equally.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?
One main tip i would say, is to not be afraid to ask any questions. As friendly and welcoming as working here is, it can be very daunting and overwhelming to some and not knowing what to do can be scary. There is always that will. Be there for you and there is nothing to be afraid of.
