Pros

Room to grow. Great teams when time to vet properly. Customers love our products. Marketing is done a fantastic job of driving sales to all sorts of demographics.

Cons

Security, More allocation of hours for morning shifts for freight. Reevaluate the closure of Self check out stations. bottom line money have been used to put in equipment that is deprecating. Minimum training hours given to labor so all employees have correct tools. Revolving door will stop and bottom line Retention will help push Five Below into the Black . As a Western Division Training General Manager It would be my pleasure to work at as a upper management employee for Five Below.

Pros

-20% discount -med, dental, vision benefits -20-ish minimum hours per week -genuinely can be a fun store to work in when run well

Cons

-store managers have little to no oversight and cross professional boundaries often - hr is ineffective, document everything yourself, report to the EEOC -growth opportunities in the store are very limited and they will lowball you no matter what you do or sacrifice -crazy turnover because the expectations are unrealistic store managers lie about pay budget to everyone -more likely to hire teens and students because they are easier to take advantage of for little pay, only needs adult for when teens and students cannot work (night shifts, school days) - nearby stores, especially if in a strip mall or shopping center, like tj maxx have higher base pay, better benefits, better security, and more hour availability
