Pay with our shopper program is average, workload is slightly more cumbersome than the pay allow.

Business Outlook

Pros

Well there is very little experience required, great first job and or rebound from losing another job. Shopper program (paid testers rate their experience, twice a week) allows new employees to make a decent wage fairly early on. Most GMs are lenient with time off. However with all the Cons being taken accounted for, promotions come very quickly (I was a Gm in three years) though frankly not for good reasons.

Cons

Well Five guys is not known as a team building corporation, essentially you do as you are asked all bonuses and kudos go to the GM and Management staff above that level. Meaning that good numbers good numbers ( profit margin, sales trends, growing customer base) only reward the most senior manager. This along with incredibly rare and frankly disappointing raises means high turnover rates and very few employees stay for extended periods.
