Pros

Five guys is a fun place to work. Managers are caring, supportive and they teach you how to sell merchandise to help their sales. Great atmosphere, music, and friends to have fun with

Cons

The pay rate is $11.50 per hour. For the amount of work done (especially of you are closing for the night) must be at least $13.50.there are 3 stations to clean up for the next day, some employees need to rush for a bus, and some employees end up staying to long for a closing shift while they have to work the next day sometimes even in the morning.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
