Depends mostly on your skin type. If you're prone to pimples, then yes, definitely it will dramatically increase your number of breakouts.
Oil evaporates slower than water, but at such high heats (as McDonald's cookers) it -will- evaporate quite a lot. Not working over grills would be an advantage though, as you wouldn't be getting the radiant heat that is also bad for your skin.
A dermatologist would probably say "don't work there", however some people's skin stands a lot of oil without doing anything. You may as well get a job there, and resign after two weeks if it makes your skin bad.

But if you're desperate for cash, the grease will mostly likely cause some problems, because there will be grease in the air. [ sillyrob's advice column | Ask sillyrob A Question ]
