Pros

Start at $8.00/hour with easy opportunity for raises up to $9.00, all managers come from within the company and it's also pretty easy to become a manager, nice environment, the work keeps you busy while the store's busy, easy to get along with co-employees and I developed some nice relationships, managers are generally really cool people and same goes for general managers, better-than-your-average workplace mixtape (rock music instead of pop garbage)

Cons

Fickle customers (not really Five Guy's fault but still... it gets old), repetitive work, probably the most boring thing to do when the store is slow

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.
