McDonald’s restaurants across New York State are looking to hire approximately 7,000 restaurant employees this summer. With access to a host of benefits – from full-time or part-time flexible schedules, career advancement opportunities and tuition assistance – a job at a McDonald’s restaurant can work for everyone. Many participating McDonald’s locations are offering several additional benefits, including paid leave and medical, vision and dental insurance.
Through Archways to Opportunity, crew and managers at participating restaurants can earn a high school diploma, take English as a Second Language classes, get tuition assistance and receive free guidance from advisors. In 2024 alone, local Owner/Operators have given out more than $2.2M in tuition assistance across the Empire State. McDonald’s also has partnerships with local community colleges that allow restaurant employees to earn an associate’s or bachelor’s degree at little to no cost.
“At McDonald’s, our people are first and foremost. We take pride in offering opportunities to learn and grow critical life skills that lend to success both in a career at McDonald’s and beyond,” Syracuse-based McDonald’s Owner/Operator Colleen McLaughlin said. “This summer we look forward to welcoming new managers and crew members as we continue to create brighter futures by investing in the communities where we live and serve.”
Flexible scheduling makes it easier for restaurant workers to manage and build a schedule that works for them. Employees at participating locations can go online to view their schedule, update availability, request time away and post shifts for replacement or swapping.
