"I am proud to work at McDonald's because they treat everyone with respect, allow me to grow within the company, and push me to continue my college degree. They have allowed me to have flexible scheduling for my family and they offer amazing benefits. Because of McDonald’s, I have been given many opportunities throughout my career which have allowed me take chances."

"Each day at McDonald's I am blessed to be a part of something great. I absolutely love our customers and I am able to work with the world's best crew and managers. The life lessons I have learned and all the friendships I've made throughout the years are priceless. I started this job to make money (and I have done that)... but the true bonus for working here are the people I have met. McDonald's has truly been great to me and it has supported me and made me feel like family since the day I started 36 years ago. "

"Working at McDonald's has given me the opportunity to meet new people and work in a friendly environment. McDonald’s gives me a way to provide for my household, and I am thankful to work in a place that is flexible and understanding. Because of McDonald’s, I have been given the opportunity to lead in multiple areas which has allowed me to grow professionally in this business.

“Because of McDonald’s I have been able to grow and develop myself as a person and as a leader. When I started back in 2019, I had no intention of trying to make a lasting career here. I never really took the time to realize how many opportunities I was passing up. Being in high school, all I was worried about was getting those first few checks, and to be able to go and get my first car.


One day, my General Manager came up to me and told me that I had been nominated for Crew Person of the Year. After that moment, I realized that this is a company that really does notice and appreciate its employees and all the hard work that they put in – I knew that I wanted to be a part of that. Three years later, I’m working full time as a Department Manager and I’m still learning new ways to improve myself and my team everyday.”

"The sky is the limit at McDonald's! Whether you want to just work part-time or become and Owner/Operator of your own McDonald's one day, they can make that happen - all while being a part of an amazing family!"

BrookeArea Supervisor, Elizabethtown, Cecilia, Hardinsburg, Leitchfield, KY

“I love McDonald’s because they are really flexible with schedules and last-minute changes – which is great for my lifestyle, being a mother of four kids. McDonald’s is excellent at offering employee benefits such as vacation, tuition assistance, medical assistance, and free employee meals.

It has been a very humbling experience working at McDonald’s. They have allowed me to push myself to further my career. I started out as Crew Member, and worked all the way up to a General Leader.”

Faith

General Leader, Bardstown, KY

"McDonald's isn't all about burgers and fries, it's so much more. If it weren't for my manager Ashlee, I do not know where I would be. I am so thankful for my co-workers and the local organization."
Dereka
Dereka Crew Member, Campbellsville, KY
"My favorite benefit at McDonald's is the PEOPLE! I make new relationships with customers and co-workers each day. There is always someone in the McDonald’s family that is here to pick me up when I am down. It keeps me smiling and believing that anything broken can be fixed again.
Marquis
MarquisManager in Training, Greensburg, KY
"What I’ve learned at McDonald’s is that people are the center of everything. Customers are more than people in the drive thru or on front counter — they are people who sometimes need more than a burger. My employees are more than just employees; sometimes they need guidance, a helping hand or extra encouragement. I have the opportunity to impact people that I would not have had the opportunity to if it was not for McDonald’s and make a difference in their lives."
J.R.
J.R. General Manager, Glendale, KY

“McDonald’s has become part of my family — all four of my older brothers worked there before me (I lived five minutes away so it was close to my house. ) As a freshly graduated homeschooler just starting college, it was really nice to get the college tuition assistance that basically pays for my tuition at our community college. Plus, the flexible hours allows me to still have time with my friends and family. 

The thing I am most thankful for,  though, are the people I work with day-to-day. I love the positive customers who come in and we are able to just make their day a little better. The Burrell Family McDonald’s organization and leaders have invested in me as a person and want to see me grow – which I love.”
