What It Takes to Work Here: McDonald’s
Okay, so maybe it doesn’t have a football team or a Greek system or a campus bookstore that sells giant foam fingers bearing the school logo, but that doesn’t make McDonald’s (MCD) Hamburger University any less legitimate an institution of higher learning.
The fast-food behemoth’s global training facility, dubbed by its dean (yes, it has a dean) as the “Harvard for our industry,” is the epicenter of McDonald’s operations and leadership development training where Ray Kroc’s sacred Quality, Service, Cleanliness, and Value (QSC&V) maxim defines the McSyllabus. The university’s four-tiered curriculum is career-path-specific, offering separate coursework and job training for restaurant crew, managers, mid-managers, and executives. From shift and systems management, equipment operations — including learning to dismantle, clean, and repair equipment — to human relations, effective communication, and consulting, the coursework is designed to teach operational practices in the McDonald’s system. Company policy dictates that only Hamburger University graduates may own and operate a McDonald’s franchise, where one can only imagine their bachelor’s diploma in Hamburgerology hangs proudly on their office wall.
