McDonald's Careers: Current Job Vacancy for Communications Intern - Construction Supply Chain ( United States)

Since 1955, we’ve been proud to serve the world some of its favorite food.

It’s been quite the journey, and we promise this is just the beginning-we’ve got our hearts set on making more history. The first McDonald’s drive-thru was created in 1975 near an Arizona military base—to serve soldiers who weren’t permitted to get out of their cars while wearing fatigues. From the start, we've been committed to doing the right thing. And we've got the policies, programs and practices in place that allow us to use our size and scope to help make a difference. Because what's good for us, is good for us all. We seek qualified candidate for the below position.
