Sames, but I heard the same things. Macca's is shit wages.

I doubt they would hire anyone who is 19, I'm 18 and I practically get no shifts
they are big on saving money and will stick a 14-15 year old on instead, in my experience

Any company will do that. That's exactly what happened with Woolworths.

Best bests now are bar jobs and hospitality.

Yeah, it's basically the crap pay and constant grease. I worked at Burger King and didn't eat their stuff for 12 months after I left...

But the social aspect of working in fast food thingos is awesome, especially when we didnt have a proper manager. Everyone did whatever they wanted, and stuff was fun. Now I'm on the search for a new job... Bunnings let me go

i think a 19 year old person gets paid like... aroun 12-13 or something
a 16 year old gets like 7:60 and a 17 (me) gets 9:50 and hour
so going by the logiz of jumping wages... should be around 12-13
and Maccas DO hire older people, though its for thir cafes, they prefer people over 18 for them

 

[braindrainedAsh]

Yeah I wondered about that.... in Albury maccas they start cutting down your hours when you are 17 lol.

KfWang, are the cafe staff hired separately to their normal staff?

12-13 isn't bad, a lot of places pay 11 or 10

Not legally, minimum wage for a 19 year old is around 12

um right, you go to a business/employer with mcdonalds on your resume? you guys gota think about it man.
Like they give a shit how long and what you did at mcdonalds.

its a nothing job. you wont get *worthy* experience from working there, plus the money is so shit.

if you seriusoly looking for a job, im sure you can get better than mcdonalds...

theres loads of telemarketing, sales jobs out there for you guys, or even working at a cafe, is better than mcdonalds.

I really get sick over how you guys promote ppl to work at mcdonalds.

(no offence intended to those who work there, i like my VIP card, plz dont confiscate it )

 

[iambored]

why do you think telemarketing and cafe is better?

i'm just interested, because i have also heard maccas training is highly recognised

Highly recognised for wat?
for going to work at other maccas stores? to work at restaurants?

at the least when you work at a cafe you learn how to make coffee or something. (well i dont know cause i worked at gloria jeans, of which, you can ALSO apply on the internet, if you looked hard enough)
And at telemarketing you develop some skills in dealing with clients or *turning* clients, or somthing along those lines.

and dont tell me working at mcdonalds helps you deal with clients, all you say is 'hi what would you like?'

 

[JimBob]

McDonalds training is highly recognised and valued within the workplace. My dad has employed people for years and if someone has Maccas on their resume, it looks a whole lot better.

I don't know what it is, but there is something in it that makes it good.

 

[Raiks]

It's the fact your willing to work you arse off for a company for shit conditions... It shows your motivated, hard working. Qualities employers try to find in their selection process.

Im just wondering what your dad does for a living.
Why would he think some one would be a whole lot more suitable for the job (wif maccas in their resume)?
*touch selection process aye?*

Yes ofcourse, depending what kind of career path you are following.

(does anyone on bos ACTAULLY see my point. Sigh, or am i just alone on this lol)

 

[braindrainedAsh]

It is better to have worked at Maccas than have worked no where.

My dad owns a pizza restaurant and the sole reasons he hires McDonald's ex employees is
1. They know how to clean
2. They usually have only been fired (or had their hours cut back) because they are old, not because they are bad workers.
