Pros

*Relatively good pay for the industry *Allows most individuals to reach management *Flexible scheduling *Reasonable with needing to take time off to take care of children.

Cons

*You will have to wait 3-4 years to try and get past the title manager, this includes senior shift lead, or assistant gm *Not much benefits to be spoke of, and the insurance they have is not worth what you pay *There is much preaching about the "five guys way" but on a store to store basis, it doesn't seem to matter much at all. *Management team is less than happy to train newcomers *If you sign on full time there isn't much flexibility. Everyone WILL be upset when you try to take time off for any reason. *There is little to no disciplinary action taken on anyone employed, meaning you will likely end up working with someone who doesn't care to work.
