Considering you worked/working at maccas, do you recommend for someone to work there?
Apologies for all the questions GodNifty!
I love questions, so please feel free to ask me!
Just so I'm clear, you already know that you'll be working front side, right? During my interview, my manager didn't mention any roles or where I was stationed at, but I was put onto grill side even though I didn't want to be stationed there (I don't really think you get a choice tbh). But, it's a bit rare to see girls work at grill side (not intending to be sexist, please don't take it the wrong way!) because it involves a lot of weight carrying (seriously, the patty boxes can weigh up to 8-10kg, it's heavy af), I'm pretty sure 95% of my grill co-workers were male and like 75% of front side were girls.
To keep it short, I wouldn't recommend you work grill, but instead work front - however, this is based on my experience at my store, your store is near Flinders so the conditions are very different to mine. Just try not to be overwhelmed with how busy it is - the food court near RMIT has like 8 people at front and too many people to count at back.
Also, do you get paid sick and holiday leave? As well as that you're guaranteed a certain amount of shifts?
It depends, are you hired as a casual or part-time? Casuals don't get paid sick and holiday leaves whereas part-time does. Part time is pretty much a lesser version of full time - you work at a fixed schedule every week (which you can see it as a guaranteed amount of shifts), but casuals on the other hand, is when the manager rosters you anytime, which can range from no shifts per week to a lot of shifts per week. If you're casual (which you'll most likely be), it's essentially a coin toss on how often you get shifts. City Maccas are busy, hence you would assume the store would hire a lot of people, but you're advantaged because you're young and cheap.
Edit: Whoops! Just realised you are asking for which
part-time job to choose from. In this case, yes you would get a guaranteed amount of shifts and will be paid sick and holiday leaves
