America is built on change. Rich people got rich by changing something up. So don't be afraid of change!
Just be sure to KEEP your current job while looking for a new one. Don't resign until you have another job offer.
I say try to use your good work experience to get a job at McDonald's corporate or somewhere else.

Is working at McDonald's a good job?
It depends.
If one is looking for a job to have during school? Sure.
Making $7.50/hr at 21, I would say it would depend on what you are planning on doing with your life. If your cost of living can be covered by that wage (assuming you are not still living at home) and you are happy with it, then there isn't any problem for you.
Whether it is a good job can largely depend on where you live currently as there is a large difference between living in California and living in Kentucky. The prices for individual things are different and are more or less expensive so it's difficult to give you an accurate answer. (see first link for example)
However, I would say in general that that wage is probably not a good job for the long run, especially if you are only making $7.50/hr after 5 yrs of working there. Other jobs have better raises.

A good job would be one that pays a liveable wage. Other compensation, like health insurance and vacation time should be concidered.
If it is part time because of school it should allow you time to rest and to study.
It should meet a reasonable expection of advancement.
And you should be reasonably happy to go into work.
After five years with the title of Manager, $7.50 is not a very good wage. The McDonald's company may be exploiting you because you have limited education or your youth.
I would keep this one but look around for other opportunities. You have 5 years of a stable work record to offer a new employer.
Good luck.

I'm sorry, but no. McDonald's is kind of reserved for high school and college kids. If you were a student in college, it wouldn't be too bad. But since you're not a student, it's time to move on. Especially if you're only making $7.50/hr. No respectable adult can live on that.
Changing jobs can be scary, but nothing's much worse than McDonald's (I really don't mean to sound rude). Look on the bright side. You can only make an improvement with getting a new job (unless of course you go to another fast food place - please don't do this). Good luck in your job search!! :D

do see any prospect of a promotion in the near future? well, if ur fine with this job and content, then u should be ok. but life is all about venturing out and learning from mistakes and trying new things. maybe work part time now and major in some business course at college or night school???? don't be afraid to ask for help and try new things! i'm sure you have people that'll back you up and help you if you fall. That's what friends are for. Surround yourself with a lot of them!

I believe you are totally right, even 7,50 USD hour is no money at all, you should keep the job as long as you have a new one..
While you are working you can search for an other opportunity and start it as soon as you got the contract in your hand...
You could also get some opportunities within McD..
Do not go at risk being jobless. Good luck!

It's the same wherever you're working. Who cares about the pay as long as you're enjoying yourself?
You could work for 1K every minute but you're suffering. So what? It still comes to naught. And if everyone thinks that Macs is a lowly paid job, where would we go for our breakfast/lunch/dinner? People, wake up the idea. It's still a job afterall and someone's gotta do it.

i think you career ascent is great. 5 years ago, you were part of the typical crew, and at 21, you are a manager. it takes people probably 10 years until they can experience being a manager in a corporation. that would make them upwards of 30 years old! you are just in your early 20s and you are already managing your staff. probably, if your career path is maintained, you can eventually become a regional head of branches. this could lead up to a VP position. not bad at all.

Can't believe mickeyD mgr gets 2 bucks over minimum wage. Ya' gotta have $10/hour to meet the U.S. Federal Poverty Guidelines' minimum gross income for a family of 2. I mean, the newspaper is so full of restaurant workers help wanted you should be able to boost your wages this afternoon, call in sick tomorrow and decide by Friday what you rather be doing.

Well it is good you have had a job that long. What intrests do you have, a job after college - even a 2 year degree - could at least triple what youre making now.
