Just had orientation at McDonald’s. Was pretty cool was it was 6:30 till 9:45ish so 3 hours that I am getting paid for, for basically sitting around listening to Helen talk, watching some video segments and a few other things.
Pay isn’t great, £4.50 an hour but it’s more than the suckers under 18 get (of which there may have been one other person who was 18 in the group, I’m not even sure about them though, I may have been the only one! I felt so old!) as they are only paid £4.25. It’s more than my sister gets too, BHS are getting slave labour out of her at £3 something an hour.
It really seems like a good place for a first job though. I mean what other company would give you a 3 hour induction and that hasn’t even started on the training as well as a big pack of information and a full uniform, they really have their employee system down to a T. I guess you have to when you have such a turn-over.
My first three shifts are Friday, Saturday and Sunday which aren’t great but it actually worked out really well given I wanted to do all my Gilds training which I can so I don’t want to moan too much because it turned out as well as I could have reasonably expected. Sunday at 10am should be interesting though given I have no plans to miss Oblivion on Saturday night :D.
