I applied online. I interviewed at Five Guys (Crystal Lake, IL) in Oct 2022
Interview
HORRIBLE! Don't waste your time like I did. I went into the Crystal Lake location on 10/20. Met with the team lead who didn't even introduce himself, didn't know that I was coming, jotted down my name and number (didn't have my name or resume or application ready), asked me 2 questions and I was done in 4 minutes. I wa dressed, very qualified, knew the history of the company and have prior experience. He told me he would get back to me in the next day or two ....never heard back. High Five to Five Guys for a terrible interview experience!
