Pros

Fast pace work, makes the days go faster Nice co-workers

Cons

Terrible pay if you’re a crew member trying to support a family. If you’re a teenager looking for a little spending money it’s a good first job. They give bonuses to upper management but none of it trickles down to the crew actually putting items on the shelves. They don’t even give you enough extra cash to stock the break room with snacks. A little appreciation goes a long way but Five Below doesn’t see that. I’ve been here a few years and never had a performance review. I think they avoid those so they never have a give you a raise.

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
