    congrats!
    a friend works there and loves it, they work around her shiftwise (as she doesnt have a licence) and were quick to offer courses and upskilling, then even management training later. i agree it's what you make it, you can use it to simply support your family for a time or as a stepping stone to bigger and better things, whatever suits you. i hope you enjoy it.

    only bad thing is now i want nuggets with that wonderful s & s sauce they have, not to mention some fries!

    Yes, I would love some fries with that! Congratulations, if I'm ever in the neighbourhood I'll definitely call round to get a large Filet o Fish meal... love those things!
    I haven't worked in fast food but my cousins are through and through Macca's kids - been working at the local outlets since they were 15 and now, at the ages of 24 and 20, they're still going strong and working their way up the ladder and enjoying every minute of it It's been a really great thing for them, stable employment, managers who are happy to work around non-work commitments so they maintain a great work/life balance, and they've made a lot of great friends through work. It sounds like a pretty awesome place to earn a buck I hope you enjoy it just as much and get a lot out of it! Good on you x

    I worked at maccas for 6 months and my DH has worked there for almost 8 years! He is now a second assistant. I left because it was hard for me having my DH as my "boss" LOL he enjoys it most days. He hate the way other people perceive the job though, so he is not proud of his job iykwim. But he works hard for his money and supports his family so i am proud of him

    That's great! I have friends (husband and wife) who both worked at Macca's. The DH started when he was sixteen and eventually became Vic state manager and his DW was a Manager at one of the City stores.
    The both loved it for a very long time and it looked great on their CV when they eventually wanted leave.
    I now have a nephew working there and he also loves it.
    My sister is a lawyer and said that Macca's training on your CV always looked great as they are known for excellent training.
