My experience at Five Guys

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

> The pay was quite good and bonuses came about quite often due to secret shoppers coming once or twice a week. > You got a free meal during shift, and I love five guys so that was great!

Cons

You are nothing more than a number. So many staff were taken on when I worked there that they were just letting people go for any reason to try and reduce numbers.

Push too much, for too little pay

Business Outlook

Pros

Daily free staff meals. No late night shifts, early morning shifts or over night shifts. Added bonus of daily repetitive unfunny Five Guys jokes from the customers.

Cons

This company and it's franchisees push their employees too hard for too little money. They expect a lot from their underpaid managers, underpaid shift leaders, and underpaid crew.

Pros

Met a few cool people

Cons

-Work on getting your employees to stay long term. - Don't ask for impossible things like closing the floor alone and expecting it to be done in a stupid time that is unrealistic -Don't compare staff when really you don't see everything that goes on - Don't make promises you cannot keep -DON'T EMPLOY SO MUCH STAFF THAT you aren't able to make the shifts go round -DON'T SWEAT AT STAFF -Appreciate your staff more instead of only focusing on negatives -Put rotas up on time -Don't be unreasonable when a fair request is being made - Dishoensty is wrong
