No respect for employees. You are expendable. - Red Shirt Five Guys Employee Review

Pros

It paid minimum wage, which is better than no money at all. Hours were flexible, but scheduling was chaotic, inconsistent, and sometimes my coworkers were begging for hours just to manage to pay rent for the month.

Cons

I worked here for almost 2 years. I was never given any sort of employee review. Never given a raise. I always did anything that was asked of me and was always on time. This company just sees you as a replacable, low-cost, worker that they can find a replacement for within the week. If one store's staff quits en mass, the surrounding town's stores help the store hobble along and manage to survive. Overall, the people who work here are grossly underpaid, extremely undervalued, and not respected by the upper management.
