McDonald's to Fill 1,000 Positions in Metro Atlanta

McDonald’s and its franchisees announced plans to fill more than 1,000 new positions at 277 Atlanta area restaurants on Tuesday, April 19. The staffing push is part of National Hiring Day, which seeks to hire up to 50,000 restaurant managers and crew, an average of four per restaurant, in one day.

McDonald's East Division President Karen King will be visiting the Old Peachtree Road store in Duluth to help celebrate the hiring initiative. King began her career with McDonald's in 1975 as a crew employee in Lawrenceville.

The new positions include a combination of seasonal, full-time and part-time positions based upon individual restaurant needs. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit their participating local McDonald’s restaurants on April 19 or apply online. 

Also, McDonald’s current employees share their “Why I Love My McJob” stories online at McDonalds.com/Careers with potential applicants.

“One of the most remarkable things I’ve learned while working with McDonald’s is the amazing opportunity for growth and advancement for bright and talented staff members,” said Donavon Groen, president of the Greater Atlanta McDonald’s Operators Association, in the announcement. “We’re thrilled to participate in National Hiring Day this year and look forward to getting the right people in the right positions to help our business grow.”
