Pros

The managers at the Five Guys I worked at were great. Work atmosphere was definitely fun. You never really get bored of your job because you do a different task everyday.

Cons

Hours are very early if you are working the morning shift and hours are extremely late if you're closing. Should definitely not be a minimum wage job for the amount of work you do.

Pros

When they gave you free food that was good. I Like free food. Foooood, yay. Also you could go have cigarettes.

Cons

The elaborate system of hierarchy for very annoying. Everyone was super invested in if the were an assistant shift leader or a level two hamburger maker. Also we had to watch these horrible training videos.
