I only know one franchise owner directly but anecdotally I have been told that there is a huge difference in employee experience depending on whether you are working for a franchise manager who just wants to make money, or a franchise manager who is there for the people. My friend is the latter, he works a full week alongside his staff and usually has a big grin on his face while doing so. He just loves helping kids gain experience. Its actually a pleasure to observe from a distance.
At a guess I'd say that the money grabbing owner must be more common than the people focussed owner however if you are fortunate enough to work for a franchise owner who is passionate about their staff, you'll be hard pushed to find a better company to work for while you're studying.
If you're fortunate enough to work for McDonalds corporate, they are right up there for pay, renumeration and work life balance.
So, yeah, perhaps the majority of McDonalds staff just have a McJob and get treated badly but in the right hands, it can be a a potent community developer.
