Pros

Good food and believe me, you will have at least 5 to 6 days off every week !

Cons

When they hired me, they never told me it was going to be a part time job, and even worse, they never told me it was going to be one or two shifts a week. One time, they scheduled me for only one shift in a week, and when I went to work (the day I was supposed to work) they simply told me "You are not in the schedule this week, you need to go home" .... so, after I was scheduled for only one shift they decided to take me out of the schedule without notice. So I was trying to complain, but who can you complain to when the person who took you out of the schedule is the area director or regional manager?? ... Did I ever got an apology from any manager ?? .. NO ! ...not even a comment ! I just see a very unprofessional management team who just care about their "labor cost" and don't care about their own people. Five Guys just don't care about their employees !!!!

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.
