    I've never worked in a McDonald's but I know a few people who have and I think it varies wildly between branches because they are franchises. I know some people who have enjoyed working there and others who have found it pretty horrific. I think it depends a lot on how busy it is as well because the people I know who hated it worked anti-social hours at a 24 hr place with a drive-through and it was very frantic and stressful. Also it was so busy it was too noisy to hear what people said easily so they would make mistakes with the orders and get in trouble.
