Getting Involved. Together.
You took care of our families. Now let our
McFamily® take care of you.
McDonald’s has a history of giving back to
communities and to those that have given so much
of themselves. Our commitment to service, quality
and value offer a strong connection to America’s
service men and women and their spouses. They
are our heroes, under the Golden Arches® and in
their communities. Here are some of their stories:
Dexter Parayno
Store Manager
Jorge Rosende
Field Operations Manager
After being Honorably Discharged from serving on
Active Duty in the U.S. Army, Jorge Rosende
worked as a Human Resources consultant for
McDonald’s. Since then, he has found opportunity
and growth under the Golden Arches, taking him to
his management role today in McDonald’s
Operations Department.
Jorge found his first job at McDonald’s on an
employment website 13 years ago and says he
uses many of the same skills he developed in the
military to grow and excel within the company.
“McDonald’s is very
similar to the military. It
has a very strong mission
to provide the best for
the public and to take
care of its people.”
Fifteen years ago in southern California, Dexter
Parayno started at McDonald’s as a temporary
assistant for the Vice President of Operations. He
had recently joined the Marine Corps Reserves.
“The Vice President saw something in me and she
decided to offer me a permanent job.”
After about a year in that position, Parayno was
deployed to Iraq and later to Afghanistan. All the
while, his colleagues at McDonald’s remained
supportive and management promised to save his
job for him until he returned.
“My team sent me care packages and a
banner signed by everyone at work to show
their support.”
Upon his return, Parayno
transitioned into restaurant
operations as a manager
in training. He has worked
his way up and today, as
General Manager, leads
his team to serve the
residents and communities
in San Diego, Calif.

Excellence and education are inseparable. Therefore,
McDonald’s is committed to a culture of continuous
learning and improvement, as evidenced by our
excellent educational programs. In 2012, Training
Magazine named McDonald's No. 5 in its Top 125
Organizations listing.
Not only do we provide educational assistance to our
employees, but we also offer a number of continuing
education programs built to serve the needs and
dreams of our diverse employee base. For example,
