Pros

If you are good and you have a good staff the job is very easy and can be fun. If you enjoy customer interaction this is for you

Cons

You can get strung along if your store is not doing too well. Advice is to ask for a transfer if slow sales are not your fault

Pros

Five Guys has seemed to perfect the art of standardizing the production of a consistently good tasting burger without having the mcdonald's taste as an outcome.

Cons

Its a typical burger/fastfood establishment...the food is better but the pay and stress is the same. upward mobility may be more pronounced at other chains but at the location i have experience with was down on sales and as a newer employee without children or prior connection to the other employees i suffered a cut in scheduled hrs the 2nd week i was hired while they continued to hire new employees with equally poor scheduled hours.
