Negative publicity: McDonald’s is heavily criticized for offering unhealthy food to its customers, stimulating obesity and strong marketing focus on very young children. • Unhealthy food menu: Although McDonald’s tries to introduce healthier choices in its menu, the menu is largely formed of unhealthy meals and drinks. Such menu offering prompts protests by organizations that fight obesity and hence, decreases McDonald’s popularity. • Mac Job and high employee turnover Mac Job is a low paid and a low skilled job, which is often seen negatively by its employees. This results in lower performance and high employee turnover, which increases training costs and add to overall costs of McDonald’s. • Low differentiation: McDonald’s is no longer able to substantially differentiate itself from other fast food chains and opts to compete by price rather than by additional features.
