Five Guys Employer Reviews

Prep work in the morning before opening and once the lunch rush is over, the store is dead until dinner time.

Working here was fun and a learning experience. I enjoyed working with the customers and working on my individual tasks, but my team members weren't dedicated.

The hardest part of working at five guys was learning all the regulations for health and food safety. Five Guys prides itself on being one of the cleanest food chains and they make this very apparent to the customers and to the workers. The co workers make daily chores a fun thing and are very caring. The most enjoyable part was learning how to make – more... their famous food. I was able to learn how to operate a cash register and also learned how to incorporate tax and conclude totals faster then the register could. – less

A typical day at work for five guys is poor at best. You love you crew but often dread the managing.

Everyone new what they were doing
Learned that coming to work with a goal makes people see how hard I work.

i enjoy working with my co-workers and the customers are really nice
management could be better.
the most enjoyable part of my job is the feeling i get when i know that everyone has fun working with me

Everything has to be made fresh in the morning before the rush. The most difficult part of the job was going back for so little money.

i love working at five guys. I'm moving to Washington, but i need more hours. I also love working with fast people. I love to train people to learn. i was in a mist of becoming a manger/ grey shirt.

I loved to work there it was laid back and fun. As long as you stayed busy you had nothing to worry about.

Five Guys has an interesting work culture. I learned a lot about team work and the variables that arise when the customers experience is a part of performance.
Management fluctuates, and are trained to perform tasks, but the sensitivity training may need work.
The hardest part was the fluctuating energy and sincerity with excellent service.

The chance for advancement was too often,people became jelous and envious to each other. Home life was always in the work place.

Five Guys was great to start out working for, but then when you step into management, you see the ugly and backstabbing side of things. The crew I worked with was beyond awesome. I treated them all with respect. I was on the line busting my butt just like any other crew member is why I worked well with my young crew. I got screwed over and had to work – more... every night I was scheduled. I never got the chance to work during the day and get the chance to learn how morning things ran. There is a lot of favoritism going on behind closed doors so to speak. I was the type that did my job and left, because of managers and crew members spreading rumors and talking behind your back. If youre looking for a summer job if you can get hired, its a great place to work, but the longer you work there, the more drama and bs you'll see and have to deal with. – less

i loved working here in was my first job and honestly i dont have anything bad to say about this place

very clean depending on which place you work at. they have secret shopper programs which can get you bonuses.

Well a typical day at Five Guys can be good. Were usually very busy on and off but its like very slow around this time so I get no hours and no hours mean no money. I've learned to speak a little Spanish while working there. And I've learned more than what I was trained like other positions then just being on the Cash Register. My managers are hard – more... workers. My co-workers and I are hard workers also we stay focus, work together, and make sure we greet the costumers and leave them with a smile on there faces. The hardest part of the job is theres nothing hard about Five Guys. The most enjoyable part of the Job is getting through the day knowing that you did your best. – less

Prep food to sell, learned how to work hard, management was okay not the best, co-workers became close friends, hardest part is leaving the job and the most enjoyable is arriving at work.

The company was alright not the best but I enjoyed working for them and had fun doing it

A lot of prepwork needs to be done each day by hand.
Fast paced and fun.
Loud music and engaging atmosphere for customers.

I would come in and do prep, When you opened I would make the burgers, or be on the grill. Management was ok, some a little young. I got along with all my co-workers. Cleaning up the peanuts off the floor. I enjoyed working on the grill.

A typical day at five guys is to do prep for the day and to be ready to open by 11:00 a.m., to ensure customer satisfaction. I learned that potatoes have a lot of starch in them and that you have to rinse the potatoes to get most of the starch out. Management is very easy to get along with. The co-workers are great. Their is nothing hard about five – more... guys it is the easiest restaurant I have ever worked at. The most enjoyable part of the job is talking to the customers. – less
