“I love the responsibility I am given and the interaction with the other employees”
“I joined McDonald’s in 1997 as a crew member and during my time with the company, I studied for a law degree which I completed in 2004. However, I decided a career at McDonald’s suited me more. I love the responsibility I am given and the interaction with the other employees in the restaurant, many of whom I now consider to be my close friends.
“I have just returned to work after having a tenweek paid sabbatical, one of the many benefits the company offers. I have also been able to travel to Sydney with McDonald’s for a manager’s conference. I currently work as abusiness manager and run my own restaurant in Manchester, which has over 100 employees and I have recently completed a Foundation Degree in Managing Business Operations through McDonald’s.”
