Five Guys reviews

Way too demanding on new comers, they demand you to be bubbly, loud and work your butt off. While none of those things are bad necessarily they give you a ridiculously short amount of time to do it. When they let me go, not even 2 weeks after working for them, maybe 5 shifts at the most they told me my personality was not suited for the job, and well maybe it was, but they should give a more fair chance for an employee to break out of their shell. On top of that there was a girl on the bottom bun station on my last day being completely rude, not team oriented at all and I know they saw and did nothing about it. When I go back in there to pick up my last paycheck I will be keen to point that out. Also I left my other job for this place and was hired by a different GM then the one who let me go, well he got switched and I didn't hear anything baout it until I called the day I was supposed, on top of that the new gm asked me to come in a on a certain day at a certain time just to get a few tax things squared away, well guess what? He didn't show up that day wasting my time, the next day he was there to get the stuff squared away but that is very unprofessional.

- During high traffic times, you will be rushing around to finish all your tasks and I've worked shifts of sometimes 8 or more hours without having the time to sit down once. Bad job to have if you're super out of shape. - When you start out, the managers will be busy with running the kitchen so sometimes they will not have time to adequately train you on a certain station before throwing you into it. It can be frustrating to get in trouble for making a mistake doing something you were not formally trained how to do. - "Red shirts" often get the short straw in terms of workload. I am often in charge of the cash register, the dining room, and several food prep tasks in the back of the store simultaneously, each one with an expectation of prompt completion. Must keep dining room absolutely spotless while taking orders from a steady stream of customers and somehow prepping food items to keep the kitchen stocked while the managers prepare the orders. - Very inflexible about call-offs or short notice emergencies. They will make you feel extremely guilty or afraid to call off, even if you legitimately should not be at work. Co-worker got fired for taking his daughter to the ER and not calling before the start of his shift (first such offense on his part) even though realistically, we didn't need him to keep up with the store traffic so he wasn't screwing anybody over. - Getting hours can be annoying starting out because they will not schedule you for the number of hours you want until you are trained on more positions--a problem compounded in high traffic stores by the lack of time on the manager's hands to train new people and still keep up with customer demands. - Third party company monitors cleanliness in the store, and the smallest stupid little things can be a violation (placing a spray bottle on a table you were going to clean and sterilize anyway, apron strings hanging out in any way from anywhere in storage, etc.)
