FIVE GUYS BURGERS & FRIES Employer Reviews

Don't expect to make a career here. Most new hires last a month or so. Your entire work experience boils down to whether your manager believes you are a "team player" or not. Your performance has little to nothing to do with it. Sounds cliche'd. True regardless.

Made great friends, enjoyed working there. Easy going management and staff.

Great employees very helpful to help new employees lots of teamwork.im proud to be a employee in gatlinburg tn everyone helps with keeping restraunt clean just a great job

While working there, my employees were awesome, the pay was good, and we put our love into making the food.
Management was pretty decent on running both their shops.
The hardest part of the job would be working overtime for late nights, due to movie premiers, and getting home sometimes by 1 am or 3 am.
I loved working there because I knew how to do – more... my job, and felt comfortable working there. – less

Productive work enviornment fun place to work and the employees had a lot of energy when dealing with customer service.

I started working at five guys in April of 2012. the atmosphere is a good one. The management is always on top of everything that goes on. Five Guys is a wonderful place to work.

Exciting work place but low quality management and a very time demanding job. It is very hard to raise children being a manager with this company.

Five Guys has an amazing staff and employees who generaly care about your welbeing.

I was a Shift Manager while working at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. I learned a great deal about the daily runnings of the location through hard work and team work along with the other managers at the store. I was able to run a daily shift supervising 5-10 employees per shift. I learned how to manage labor versus the amount of revenue coming in. I handled – more... disiplinary actions when needed. When I was hired on I was promised full time with benefits and salary. As time went on I was not given the benefits or the salary position I was promised earlier. I really enjoyed the position and working with some of the management team. The hardest part of the job was the responsibilities required at such an early stage in my employement. I was new to management and struggled to manage labor vs sales. The most enjoyable part of the job was working with the employees side by side, interacting with the customers and ensuring that the location and my shift where 100% at all times. – less

a typical day at work depended on what shift i was on, morning shifts usually consisted of waiting outside for the managers to open (i usually show up to any job 30 minutes early), go in and clock in, put my apron on, and start the food prep for the rest of the shift, i ran many stations, like cash register, fries, toppings and lobby. i was in charge – more... of taking online and over the phone orders. i learned how to work with a team and how to deal with customers one on one. the hardest part of the job was staying on one station for a long period of time, co workers often switched so we wouldnt get bored. the most enjoyable part of the job was the customers, we had alot of families come, frequent customers and i got to know many families and their children. especially during the holidays, it was so much fun! i remember working on Halloween and giving out free pretzels to the little ones! – less

I couldn't have asked for a better first job. The first few weeks were shaky, but they all are especially when it's your first job. But I was welcomed with open arms and built friendships that helped my days at work go smoother.

BUSY
COOKING
GREAT
FRIENDLY
GETTING TO KNOW PEOPLE
LUNCH HOUR

I knew all the managers before I began working there, so it was a little difficult to take them seriously all the time, but for the most part they were fun and relaxed. Lunch rush would usually last about two and a half hours, in which you were unable to leave your station. The kitchen was always hot and it was an open kitchen so the customers could – more... always see what you were doing. After we closed everyone tended to be more calmed and relaxed as we cleaned the store for the next day. – less

Five Guys is very fast pace but fun once you get the hang of it. Management is on the line with the rest of the crew which is a great thing. I learned the hard work behind getting food prepared for the day that I never thought of before. The hardest part was working understaff when there was a rush of customers. The most enjoyable part was seeing new – more... and familiar faces each day. – less

wish i could have stayed longer, great place, great atmosphere, loved it

I definitely enjoyed my time spent at Five Guys. I learned how to effectively engage with customers to the point that they wanted to come back over and over again. I spent most of my time on the cash register and making the dining room spotless. I also spent countless time helping the other employees in prep, fries, and grill. The people I worked with – more... were amazing and i could not have asked for better coworkers. The hardest part of the job was during rush hour when your running around trying to keep the customers happy but I enjoyed every moment of it. – less

Little to none communication from leadership within the company

the fast food place was a little too strict for me they were always over your shoulder about the smallest things.

fast service and good food really a good place to work if you have a good jugdement of charter and like bein loud

fast paced very fun .maybe the hardest part was getting the grease off the floor at the end of the day.
