McDonald’s poised to hire 2,800 in single day across Ohio, including 300 in Dayton
McDonald’s restaurants are looking to hire 2,800 new crew and management employees throughout Ohio, including about 300 in the Dayton area, during its “National Hiring Day” next Tuesday on April 19, company officials announced this morning.
Some — but not all — of the jobs will be seasonal, according to a McDonald’s news release, which stated that the new positions will include “a combination of both seasonal and sustaining full-time and part-time positions, based upon individual restaurant needs.”
McDonald’s spokeswoman Kerry Ford said she could not give a range of salaries for the jobs, since they include so many variables of seasonal, part-time, full-time, crew and management positions. But Ford said McDonald’s crew employees are paid a competitive wage that “tends to be above minimum wage.”
The one-day event is part of a nationwide initiative for McDonald’s and its franchisees to hire up to 50,000 new employees at restaurants across the country. The Greater Dayton region has 75 restaurants, and each is expected to hire four employees on average, Ford said.
Those interested in applying should visit participating local McDonald’s or apply online at www.McState.com, company officials said.
McDonald’s “understands the importance of school, life and family” and offers “flexible scheduling options that fit various lifestyles and needs,” its news release said. About three-quarters of McDonald’s restaurant managers started behind the counter, the company said.
Nearly 90 percent of McDonald’s’ 14,000 U.S. restaurants are owned by franchise owner-operators.
“Our business is strong and our customers are responding positively to the variety of choices on our menu and the value and convenience we provide,” Jeff Monfort, president of a local consortium of McDonald’s owner-operators, said in a news release. “As our business continues to grow, we want to provide our customers with an even better experience in all of our restaurants within the Miami Valley.”
