Pros

I got hired on as a senior in high school and now Im a senior in college. They are very flexible with hours, even as a student. Promoted to shift lead and taught things like prep, inventory, etc. Good place to meet good, hardworking people and get some easy kitchen/managerial experience. Also, opportunity for bonuses twice a week!

Cons

Cleaning is extensive and thorough. Big on "the five guys way" so you should be good at adapting your style of work to five guys style. Management changes a lot which can be chaotic.

Pros

- Free meal on shift. - Secret Shopper Bonus. - Fellow employees get a long. - Managers can be very understanding. - Tips

Cons

- Overly long hours for the pay - During training, trainers "Grey shirts" and managers would tell me how do something but each one would show me a different way. - Having a shift from 4pm-1am (which can end up 2am) and having to find your own way home is wrong.

Pros

you learn how to control your body from not drinking nor go to the toilet (as when you do, you are gonna have argument with your manager)

Cons

- minimum wage for a very hard job - not interesting at all (working on a line doing all day long the same movement). you are required to bring your brain at work - crazy shift, no time for social life - this is a zero hour contract: it means that you don't a minimum amount of hour and if they don't like you or there is not enough job, you work few hours per week.
