Pros

Five Guys has seemed to perfect the art of standardizing the production of a consistently good tasting burger without having the mcdonald's taste as an outcome.

Cons

Its a typical burger/fastfood establishment...the food is better but the pay and stress is the same. upward mobility may be more pronounced at other chains but at the location i have experience with was down on sales and as a newer employee without children or prior connection to the other employees i suffered a cut in scheduled hrs the 2nd week i was hired while they continued to hire new employees with equally poor scheduled hours.
