Guest Experience Lead (GEL)

This job opportunity is offered by an independent franchisee operating a McDonald’s restaurant, separate from McDonald’s USA corporate.

Any applicant who accepts a position here will be employed by the franchisee, not by McDonald’s USA, which has no involvement or control over employment processes or decisions for this location. The franchisee’s commitment is to build a workplace culture that respects employees’ lives beyond work, empowering them to work to live, not just live to work. Named "WorkToLive," this company emphasizes creating an environment that fosters personal growth, balance, and meaningful life-building alongside employment.
