Pros

It was a very easy summer job. We got a 20% discount on everything in the store which is pretty good considering everything in the store is inexpensive to start with.

Cons

The worst part of working at Five Below was dealing with difficult customers. Also, despite being very willing to work more, our manager had hired too many people to work for the summer so I only got around 13 hours a week.

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
