i have to right this essay about a career i DISLIKE the most and i chose fast food like McDonald's or Jack in the box. and i have no idea of what to write about why it is a bad career..Why is a fast food place like McDonald's a bad career?
Why I wouldn't want a career as a McDonalds manager.
1. Salaries are moderate at best.
2. Long hours, late hours, weekend hours.
3. Repetitive, unrewarding work.
4. What's to feel good about serving people garbage food?
5. High employee turnover.Why is a fast food place like McDonald's a bad career?
If you work in a franchised store there is little room to move up but in a operated store people do move up to executive position. Not many but it is not unheard of. McD's is a good job for students and it looks great on a resume (fast paced, demanding) but as a career it wouldn't be my first choice but for some people, they don't have a choice.
I work at McDonald's and i am going to college but people tend to forget that some of us are just there to get to a better place. so the customers are very rude and many get enraged easily. For example we had this one man throw 2 shakes on the floor because "they didn't look like the picture" and frankley that is something we hear a lot. For the staff and the people i work with they all love drinking and the sleep around with each other, and then later wonder why they have conflict at work. No one is ever on time but a small handfull of people, and most of my managers eat on the clock and sit down or txt or even call someone on the phone. McDonald's is a very unstructured work place depending on the franchise.Also to get a raise is a little easier than everyone thinks but moving up is like trying to move a moutain. I may just have bad luck with this one. But it wears you down having to deal with these kind of people everyday. Also there is no sense of acomplishment its just hurry to get the food out and repeat it over and over to you have to go home. I do have to give credit to those who do work at McDonald's and do, do what they are suppost to but most of them are lazy, unpunctual and have no work ethic. ...................I hope this helps :) i know this is pretty much a "me" story but i hope you can get parts out of here! :)Why is a fast food place like McDonald's a bad career?
People say that there is no room to move up. You don't make enough money, and the pay is not great.
But you do have to learn how to crawl before you can take off running. So I feel that McDonald's is a
good place for a young person to start. He can learn many things. How to be responsible,How to get along with others and learn skills .Math, cooking, cleaning, counting, inventory etc.
Because you don't get a raise ever and managers may only make 12 dollars an hour tops
Crappy hours, dealing with customers, and having to clean up some disgusting messes. Not worth the 7.25 an hour.
mine?

well some people might say fast food places are DEAD END jobs cuz of no college exp or whatever....therefore an office job is better...but the way i see it..a job is a job enough said!
because of the little pay, and minimum requirements.
It might not be the best choose but it is still a job with pay.
low pay
i agree a job is a job it might not be the best but it still pays

Manager at Mcdonalds, DQ, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dominoes, Sonic? Which pays better?
Heres the deal. I work in the service industry and have done so full time for about 2 yrs, and part time for the last 5 yrs. I am 27, I was in the military for 8 yrs. I know many are thinking Why the hell are you in the restaurant buisness? Well Im not back home, Im in a small place in texas, I love it here. I love dealing with people, I also love law enforcement. I am a single father who is not TCLEOSE cert., alos law enforcement doesnt pay good at all where Im at. Its mostly retired people in beautifull comunity on the lake with great schools. So I am waiting tables, and doing better (if you broke it down by hour) than most local cops. I do wanna get into management. Nice sit down restaurant managers start about 38 to 42k a year and go up from there. Problem is regardless of my leadership and other life experiences in the military, they all want you to have a 4 yr degree or 3 to 4 yrs restaurant management expierience. So I am thinking of down grading to fast food but only to upgrade my career and better myself, and apply for managemnt, of course I wouldnt take anything less than salaried manger position in fast food place, so which fast food place is best to work for, and what are the average starting salaries for each? Mcdonalds, Dominoes, Pizza Hut, Jack in the Box, Taco Bell, Burger King, Dairy Queen, Sonic etc... etc... Also what do you think of me downgrading to fast food but to upgrade my career and start climbing the stepping stones of life? Eventualy once I managed fast food for 3 or 4 yrs I would go back in to nice dining!??
Please keep in mind Im not talking about a shift supervisor/ assistant manager I am talking about an actual manager!Manager at Mcdonalds, DQ, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dominoes, Sonic? Which pays better?
Ok well I am going to answer the second part of your question first. I am an Army vet with 12 yrs in service. I too am in the food industry. I own a microbrewery with a restaurant in it and i have to tell you that if you were in my area i would be glad to hire you as an assistant manager based on the experience youve listed. I know that you want to be a "manager" and not an asst to one but im fairly certain that even in fast food you wont be getting hired as a manger right out of the gate. All this may sound like a bit of a soup sandwich but youre going to need some light managing experience before you get hired as a general manager.
My suggestion to you is to go around to all of the localy owned restaurants in your area and explain your situation, your needs and you goals to the owners and see if you cant get hired on at least as an asst manager temporarily so that you have a necessary rung on the ladder of your career completed.
One boot in front of the other soldier
Good luck

I'd go for Either McDonalds or Burger King. It's hard work
but the pay is pretty good
as you've mentioned.
Good Luck !!

well in florida the average mcds manager starts out at 9 an hour.. i was one for 2 years..then i left and now i cook at dennys (a breakfast restaurant).. the thing that probably helped me was being food safety certified since i was 19 when i started cooking at dennys.. you should definitely think about the management at a restaurant though.. remember sometimes knowing the right person can get you anywhere..
If you can get a DQ franchize i definetely would. I know a lady who owns one and shes living pretty good.Manager at Mcdonalds, DQ, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dominoes, Sonic?
idk but not McDonalds...trust me i tried that gig for a while you dont want to associate with those people.
My boyfriend managed a fast food restaraunt for a year and he mnake around $10 an hour. He was able to buy whatever he wanted and have a nice life. Do whats in your heart and best for your child and dont look at is a a fast food job, but a means to support yuorself and family. And then maybe you can go to school while you work as a manager.Manager at Mcdonalds, DQ, Pizza Hut, Burger King, Dominoes, Sonic?
Not sure about all fast food ( though i assume) but you cant just walk in and be a manager at mcdonalds ( at least corp, franchise might be different) You must start as a crew and work up- it is in their rules- unless you have a completed 3 stages of MDP and and are in BLP. You also have to have a Diploma or Retail Management and a certain amount of exp.. Now if you had a buisness degree, you could start as an hourly paid manager, but thats the best you are gonna do. Otherwise, you must work up the ladder;(.
Your not going to walk in anywhere and get a job as store manager just like that. Your going to have to do the same thing they did, which is work their way up the ladder! I work for McDonald's and my owner and I have talked. He got his first job as a teenager and worked his way up the ladder. Nothing in life is handed to you. Being a man of the military, I would think you'd understand that!
Instead of downgrading for three to four years, just spend that time getting your degree. That will open a lot more doors for you in life and allow you to comand even more money for your work. You should think about going for Hotel/Restaurant Managment. Most schools offer a degree in this field or you could even get a two year degree and probably go farther then you would with downgrading to fast food.
BK is good. That's where I'm at. You shouldn't think of it as a short term thing though. It can be a great career. the only thing is that I work for the corporation which is almost exclusively east coast. In Texas you would be working for a franchisee which I think pays less and less room for advancement. I made 65,000 last year with an all inclusive trip to the tropics thrown in to boot. I have an interview this week to move up a level as well. The opportunitys with the corporation are plentiful and benefits are pretty good too. I guess any of these companies are OK but you should look at getting into a corporate environment. Then as hard as you work is how fast you advance.muffler

Should i quit mcdonalds?
i have been working at mcdonalds for about a month now. They only gave me part-time so i only work about 18 hours a week. I try my best and always try to do something not just stand around like others do but some of the managers get frustrated with me sometimes because i mess up. I try my best but its not enough...working at fast food is DEFINELTY stressful ..not only that i am committed to a program that is going to help me later on in my career and i have mtngs once a week plus events that i have to attend. Since mcdonalds always changes my schedule around i can't sign up for these events because i do not know if i can attend..anyways i am going to be 19 years old and this is my first "official" job but i was offered another job ..i am actually confident i can get any other job later on and for the mean time i have a way of supporting myself financially...so should i quit now my mcdonalds job since i havent even done the three months or should i wait until college starts and use that as an excuse? i really want to work but these managers don't want to teach me...they literally ignore me! and i don't want to get fired so i'd rather quit..also what are some reasons they can fire you for?? thank you .Should i quit mcdonalds?
hi there. i work at mcdonalds aswell... and lets be honest: its no one's first pick.
but honestly, the work experience is great and looks awesome on a resume. especially if you get promoted and raises! there are so many skills that you learn, and yes, of course it's stressful but there is always going to be stress in a job.
i remember it was my first month and i was SO READY to quit (just like you) but i stuck it out. i found getting to know the other employees better made it a more enjoyable place to be, especially when you got on the manager's good sides.
i've been there for 2 years now and am in the shadow program (early management) and there's still times when i wanna quit.
and dont let them change your schedule around! they have availabilty sheets, if they don't abide by those feel free to complain about it. you can always say you can't work tuesdays or thursdays, even saturdays. dont let them limit your options :) and book time off if you need to!
they really only ever fire people if they skip work or show up late too many times... or i guess if you're incredibly incompetent with everything you do (rarely ever happens)
so all i can say is goodluck! sorry for the long answer.... :)Should i quit mcdonalds?
Look for jobs and send out resumes. www.hotjobs.com, www.careerbuiler.com look for a job you know you can be good at or will work hard to gain the experience once there. McDonald's is a job but you need more then 18 hours a week. You need a steady schedule so you have a life. Ask your parents to help you while you search for a better job if you think these meetings will give you a brighter future.
Find another job and then quit this one. It does not seem to be the right fit for you. Have you considered serving at a restaurant. I would consider Bob Evans (breakfast on weekend is awesome tip $) or Chili's. If one of these is local to you, see if they are hiring. You will make better money and may find a nicer environment. Good Luck to you.Should i quit mcdonalds?
If it's stressful for you, then you should quit working at McDonald's. Explain to your boss that you don't like the job, and hopefully your boss will understand and will fire you.
Just hang in there they always give the new guy crap at first!Should i quit mcdonalds?
Just stay and show them you aren't a quitter
Yes, it can be stressful, but, it is only stressful when it's happening.
It's great that you don't just stand around like some of the others, and if the managers are getting frustrated with you, that is their problem, and they obviously aren't very good managers. They should be accepting that you will make mistakes, because you are new.
I am a Crew Trainer at McDonald's, and yes, when new people make a mess of things it is a bit frustrating, but it is NOT your fault.
Once piece of advice I constantly reiterate to new starts is, if you do something wrong, and you know how to fix it, don't get flustered, don't try and rush it, just start again. If you don't know how to fix it, or feel unable to cope, let someone know, and they will help you. You are part of the team, and to help us, it's better to let us know that your struggling, so we can help you.
I'm not saying you should stay, that is upto yourself, but, think about how the people who have been there for a while are with each other. Are they friends or are they just working together, as I remember when I started, some people were quite territorial and basically wanted to give me the short straw every time, but, as I got to know them, they have become good friends, but the store has always had a friendly atmosphere about it - I know some don't.
In my experience it is a good job, and it is always a good experience to have.
i can tell you something, its almost like they want to see what happens when they do that. the changing schedule, manager getting frustrated, the stress... cant you see it? Think of it as a test.
what happens if you pass? great, looks like we can Riley on em and keep em. what if you fail? oh, i knew it, that was a waste. dont be a waste, hang in there!!!!!
just tell yourself you can do it, youll make it! i promice, besides, they awlays do that to new people anyway, well, so far i know.
Just dont give up, prove how commited you are!
and sine your schedule changes to where you cant attend the meetings, pull your supervisor, your manager or whoever is in charge and let em know that your schedule prevents you from attending the meetings. they'll most likley understand and might even make it to where you can attend.
keep the fait, eye on the prize, good luck to ya

What jobs would you suggest to a college student trying to live in an apt.?
I need a job where I can raise at least 700 a month for rent and groceries and other crap. Does anyone have a suggestion? I can't just work at McDonald's or whatever but I don't have enough experience for a real career (I'm majoring in graphic design) Help! I really wanna move out so I can get financial aid and, yaknow, be on my own!What jobs would you suggest to a college student trying to live in an apt.?
As a struggling college student I always envied the "easy tip money" my bartending friends made. One friend made upwards of $500 on a good Friday or Saturday night. He essentially worked three nights a week and had the other four days off!!! If you live in a state that hasn't banned smoking in public places you're in for a nasty surprise. If, on the other hand, smoking is banned in all public places in your state (including bars) then by all means try out waitressing or bartending. Catering is also lucrative but far less dependable than the bartending. The downside to bartending is that those friends tended to "emulate" their burnout patrons after a while. They smoke, have a million tattoo's and talk like truck drivers these days - and they all went to college! I hate smoking so much that I didn't even consider you might be a smoker! Ignore what I said about smoking if you do. In that case, working in that kind of an environment should be a breeze for you.What jobs would you suggest to a college student trying to live in an apt.?
Don't be in such a rush. Just live with friends in an apartment. Share it. It'll be a great experience.What jobs would you suggest to a college student trying to live in an apt.?

I work at a golf course and go to school and I make pretty good money not just off of 8 dollaz an hour, but a lot off of tips. Golf courses usually allow for flexible hours since they aren't MULTI Billion dolla corporations and they are usually owned/managed by regular people. It also doesnt take a rocket scientist to drive a golf cart or carry someones golf bag for them to their car. Thats how u get tips. Most of the time it's optional.

How can I get hired to work on board a cruise ship?
I have been a manager at McDonald's for 2 years and I am Servsafe certified until 2014. I would like to become an employee on a cruise ship i believe it would be an exciting way to further my food service career any help is greatly appreciated.How can I get hired to work on board a cruise ship?
Go directly to the websites of all the major cruise lines and look for a link for job openings, careers, or something along those lines. Its usually buried in a menu or at the bottom of the page, but it will be there.
Then, just apply and hope it works out. Good luck.How can I get hired to work on board a cruise ship?
I've heard that the best way to get hired for a cruise ship restaurant is to have some hotel restaurant experience, because the two areas are very similar. See if any local hotels are hiring kitchen staff, and then use that experience to move up.
College courses in the culinary arts would really help you as well.

Well, they generally require 2 years experience in your chosen profession and you should be 21 years of age or older. If you meet these requirements the only way to apply is through the various cruise line websites. Simply go to the website, find the employment link, and follow it. Unlike the one answer states yes, they do hire Americans as long as they are willing to accept the conditions under which they work. Remember that the hours are long on a cruise ship and the pay is generally not the greatest. However in general room and board is also provided when working on the ship so this can be seen to be a part of your wages.

If you are American, you can't. Except perhaps on the NCL "Pride", which sails only in Hawaii and has only American staff. Americans aren't willing to work under the conditions required to work on a cruise ship and they are not hired, except perhaps for the entertainment staff.
But you can go to any of the cruise lines' websites and click on "employment" for info.How can I get hired to work on board a cruise ship?
Go to the sites of the cruise lines you are interested in and click on careers, if you are american it would be easy for you to apply as you can do the entire process online and by phone interviews if you are not near the cruise lines headquarters (i.e. Royal Caribbean %26amp; Celebrity in Miami)
Restaurant service at a cruise ship is totally different to the one in McDonald's so take that on mind

I do not see, where the experience at Mc D or the Servsafe will open any doors for you.
A waitress (having worked as such on land) will still start as a busgirl first.
Training onboard (USPH) is very different from land jobs.
The only job you might could get is Snack Utility (at the buffet, handing out food) and that is a real hard job and hardly paid.
I would suggest you first be a waitress on land in a good restaurant and then go from there.
For requirements for jobs, look up the cruise lines individual websites
Well, they generally require 2 years experience in your chosen profession and you should be 21 years of age or older. If you meet these requirements the only way to apply is through the various cruise line websites. Simply go to the website, find the employment link, and follow it. Unlike the one answer states yes, they do hire Americans as long as they are willing to accept the conditions under which they work. Remember that the hours are long on a cruise ship and the pay is generally not the greatest.
