Pros

I got hired on as a senior in high school and now Im a senior in college. They are very flexible with hours, even as a student. Promoted to shift lead and taught things like prep, inventory, etc. Good place to meet good, hardworking people and get some easy kitchen/managerial experience. Also, opportunity for bonuses twice a week!

Cons

Cleaning is extensive and thorough. Big on "the five guys way" so you should be good at adapting your style of work to five guys style. Management changes a lot which can be chaotic.

Pros

They will teach you everything you need to be successful. They have much higher standards than most places, one of the few places I'd have no problem eating at any location. They'll make sure you have everything you need to meet those standards, especially once you get to a management level. They have corporate trainers and the GM at my location was also great. I'm a GM at a different place now and my experience here left me well prepared me for that position.

Cons

Pay. That's the only reason I left, I would have stayed with the company if I could have gotten a raise and I would definitely return if they offered something comparable to what I'm making elsewhere.
