McDonalds Crew Member in Castleford

on 30 November 2023

Extremely Stressful working conditions but decent pay and benefits

The job is extremely stressful especially if you’re a student or have a disability. There have been several occasions when I’ve worked where the store has had to either threaten to or actually call the police one of these times was when I had a delivery driver push a big pile of cup holders onto me. A lot of the managers clearly lack any form of SEN training, there’s a manager who treats me comple...

Treated like children

Ok, management will under appreciate your effort though. Flexibility with availability is reasonable. If you want to swap shifts you can do so easily. Tiring and monotonous.

Fun

Good place to work if you’re a student as it’s easy money and you can work the hours that are best suited to you. Very understanding when you need time off.

Mix of people

Busy, stressful but great people. Some managers were terrible and others were great. Typical day was clocking in, working on drinks or on the till and cleaning whenever there was downtime

Interview lasted around 10 minutes Didn't ask me for identification at the interview, despite specifying on website. Still a good idea to bring ID just in case Asked me: what does respect mean to you? how would you show respect in the workplace? who's your role model and why? how would you greet a customer? what’s more important? fast or friendly service? how would your teachers describe you? can you cope with a fast paced working enviroment? The manager then took me into the back of the resturaunt where I worked at the drive through window for around 20 minutes, handing food to the customers and asking if they wanted any sauce with it. The manager left one of the staff with me to prepare the orders and give them to me, to hand to the customers. probably is a test of your communication with customers or something. was good fun, and the staff are happy and very kind
