Employers who open their doors to teenagers — with valid work permits and commitment to the job — say the life skills young men and women earn have a lasting impact. “At an early age, they are learning to take orders, work as a team and personal appearance,” Sadia Anderabi said.

“At an early age, they are learning to take orders, work as a team and personal appearance,” Sadia Anderabi said.   She and her husband, Syed, operate five McDonald’s franchises — three of them in Frederick — and conduct business from their “office” — a table at the Market Square McDonald’s in Frederick.

The Anderabis have some teens who work only during the summer, and some who work after school starts. “When school starts, we have them work less, maybe weekends, but not late in the evening,” Anderabi said.

The couple sees part of their responsibility as employers to provide teens with a foundation to build on, move on to higher education and use later in life
