Pros

Working with some of the part time staff was fun. When TCH owned five guys they had a great vacation package and insurance deal.

Cons

Five guys bought back the franchise and it went to the birds. I was given a chose of working and staying at 5guys or continue on my school path without a job. Not only that but they took everything away for management, i.e. no more personal day, vacation etc.
