ABSTRACT

Within much critical research literature, fast-food jobs are presented as offering few
employee advantages. Indeed the disparaging term McJob has come to describe
low-skill, low-pay, dead-end, routine service industry employment in general. In
contrast, there is employer-oriented literature that portrays fast-food jobs more
positively and even presents them as beneficial for the workforce. This study
analyses survey data from a sample of Australian McDonalds outlets to determine
employee and employer experiences and attitudes towards these so-called McJobs.
Findings indicate that employees view their jobs as consisting of repeatedly doing a
limited range of non-complex tasks whereas managers perceive aspects of the job
more positively. Evidence is presented that fast-food jobs offer human resource
advantages, potential career opportunities and, for some, desirable forms of work
organisation. These findings suggest that the current, dominant portrayal of McJobs is
inaccurate, with the reality more nuanced.
