How old were you when you got your first job? When you bought something you wanted with money you earned? Working hard is a skill that translates over to schoolwork and into adulthood. Having a summer job at McDonald’s can teach your child work ethic, time management, patience, and teamwork in the workplace – all while developing key skills applicable throughout all areas of life.

Working in fast food may not be a teen’s first choice, but the benefits may make it worth considering. With the cost of college at an all-time high, a scholarship or tuition reimbursement is a huge perk. Valluzzo Companies McDonald’s offer many scholarship opportunities in addition to world-class training that engenders confidence and fosters valuable skills to help employees thrive wherever they are on their journey, whether they stay at McDonald’s, further their education, or springboard into a different career.

Kaitlyn Roy

Kaitlyn Roy grew up with her father, John Roy (now VP of Operations at Valluzzo Companies) working in management roles at the local McDonald’s. She knew of the great opportunities with the company and when it came time for her to find part time work in town, she turned to the golden arches for a flexible working experience. She has been working at McDonald’s for over two years through High School and now during her time at LSU.  She has enjoyed learning to train crew members and especially enjoys the challenge of fulfilling orders in the drive-thru in a timely manner. Her work schedule adjusts around her school schedule and allows her to make both school and work a priority. Kaitlyn is utilizing the Archways to Opportunity benefit as she attends LSU . She says that this global pandemic has inspired her to want to go into a career where she can help people.

SKILLS TO GROW ON: 

A part-time job like McDonald’s exposes teenagers to elements like punctuality, attire, management structures, performance feedback and reviews, filling out tax withholding forms, understanding paycheck deductions, appropriate conversation topics, and more.

THE VALUE OF A JOB WELL DONE:

Teens need jobs in a safe and low-risk environment with managers who are used to training and overseeing that age demographic. McDonald’s has always been a people business, and fostering a safe, inclusive and respectful workplace is a paramount value. Valluzzo Companies continue to prioritize safety, provide opportunity, nurture talent, develop leaders and reward achievement.

COLLEGE ASSISTANCE:

Whether you plan to pay for your child’s college education, or not, there are a ton of expenses associated with going to college and living on their own for the first time. Candidates of all ages are encouraged to focus on their education with flexible scheduling, and after 90 days, students can qualify for up to $3,000 tuition assistance. Additionally, Valluzzo Companies is proud to support Mayor Broome’s Youth Workforce Experience.
