We value and respect all the employees who work at McDonald's restaurants. The majority of McDonald’s restaurants around the world are owned and operated by independent business men and women. Both our company and franchised-owned restaurants work hard every day to treat McDonald's employees with dignity and respect. Employees are paid competitive wages and have access to a range of benefits to meet their individual needs. In addition, employees who want to go from crew to management can take advantage of a variety of training and professional development opportunities
