Five Guys reviews

I worked very hard here and did not receive a raise until I needed to quit. Things can get crazy around lunch and dinner and it is important that you remain fast-paced. Forget smoke breaks or eating breaks. If you're lucky you can sneak a few fries into the back. There is little room for growth or improvement. Often I saw people scraped off the streets that they would train into managers, rather than taking a current employee who knows what they are doing and turning them into a manager. They also are not flexible at all, so good luck taking time off without being threatened with termination.

Because you are always on your feet and moving, it gets exhausting. Lot's of heavy lifting and dealing with grumpy customers when the food preppers or cashiers make mistakes. The amount you take home at the end of the night varies drastically; one night I went home with 15 bucks and the next I went home with 3. Most of the workers are high school students and early college students and will become agitated and walk out when it gets to be too stressful, leaving more work for the others. As well, the style of management is inconsistent, so you have to adapt to who the manager on duty is.
