Yes

9b. Why?

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to McDonald's?

For anyone applying to McDonald's i would say, expect a fast paced high pressure work environment that will always keep you on your toes and learning new things, but also the rewards for this are great pay, new learning experiences, new friends and a lot of other benefits. The job isn't easy but if you try and are successful you will gain a lot
