Five Guys is a hospitality company focusing on hand-made burgers, fresh-cut fries, and unlimited toppings. Established in 1986, the company has expanded to 79 outlets in the UK and sources its ingredients locally, ensuring quality and freshness in every meal. The menu consists of various burger options made with fresh beef cooked on a grill, making it a popular choice among fast-food customers.

Despite its impressive demographic diversity with 47.0% female and 37.8% ethnic minority employees, Five Guys lacks political diversity as a majority of its staff members are affiliated with the Democratic Party. The average employee at Five Guys earns an annual salary of $27630, which is comparable to competitors such as Chipotle Mexican Grill, Papa Murphy's, and Jack in the Box. Based in Richmond, Virginia, Five Guys operates as a medium-sized hospitality company with 376.0 employees.

Pros of working at Five Guys

Atmosphere and fun environment

Cons of working at Five Guys

Not being able to serve all customers. Every day customers comes in looking for heathy options like turkey burger, bean burger or vegetarian. We should have a more diversified menu. I’ve seen families where one one or two people out of the group eating. Sad

Pros of working at Five Guys

The Managers where pretty cool there, So were most of the co-workers.

Cons of working at Five Guys

There wasn't much there. As far as fast food, I'd imagine that it's about average, but room for advancement was pretty much a 50 cent raise above minimum wage, and then try for management for another 50 cent raise.

Five Guys benefits

Really the only benefit to working at Five Guys is the employee discount on the food. The food was overpriced for what you got. Pretty decent if money isn't an issue, but definitely too expensive without the discount.
