Pros

There's always something to be working on at 5 Below, so your'e never bored...but it gets repetitive after a while. Props to their concept of taking a "Dollar Tree" and making it more inviting to the teen and young adult niches.

Cons

Ask to much to be done with little compensation. Breaks as management are not enjoyable, unless there is an additional manager within the store.

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
