Pros
Great Food! High standards. Upper management has an extreme focus on food safety (as they should). Five Guys really does offer a lot of benefits to their employees. The higher cost of the burgers goes back to the employees in many ways.
Cons
A lot of loud and needless communication is expected of the manager on duty. They expect a high level of micro-management. Visits from upper level management are used to motivate the GM's into extra days/hours and they seem to manage by fear from the top down. Also they furloughed a lot of mid-level managers during Covid and then hired/promoted replacements instead of bringing back the ones that were let go.
