Good company - Shift Leader Five Guys Employee Review

Be prepared to work really hard, non stop throughout your whole shift. Breaks may or may not happen depending on how busy it is. And if you are a single parent with no help with your kids, and solely depend on daycare for childcare (which aren't open after 6 pm, weekends, nights or holidays) this job may not work for you. I quickly advanced to management, made it through the Five Guys management certification, and the Safe Serve management certification within a month. And immediately after becoming certified, my life changed dramatically when my relationship ended due to domestic violence and I became homeless with my kids. I immediately moved into a D/V shelter and acquired daycare for my kids and was willing to walk back and forth to work, only to have been demoted and only getting a couple hours of work per week. Even though I had never worked evenings and nights before my life changed, It was required to do at least 2 nights and closings per week atthe time. So rather than keeping a dedicated, loyal, hard working employee that was dependable, made it through all the training and certifications, and needed that job more than anything to get my kids and myself a home, I was lead on for months about them not having enough hours or business anymore. Until I finally gave up.
