As a student of management, I have a dream to one-day work at the company. In any case, my dream comes true; there are different cultures within the company that would be more appealing. The worker promotion that the company cherishes is one of the cultures that would be more appealing. McDonald’s is among the few companies that consider employee farewell and in this case offer job promotion more often. Job promotion culture will make my career thrive in situations characterized by tough competition. The culture of the company to have employees who abide by the rules and regulations of the company is another building block to my career. With fellow workers who are law-abiding and respectful my career will be accomplished.
The company’s good cultures have led to a good relationship with the customers. Most customers cherish eating at McDonald’s and would not shy away from going for the second service. Apart from the customers, the employees of McDonald’s term the company as a home as away from home. They hold the feeling that the company is second to none. The employees’ performances are thus always highly satisfying the needs of the customers. With the motivations that the company offers to its employees, all employees do feel satisfied and capable to offer their full attention towards the company.
