Pros

I have a lot of fun working for FiveBelow as a Merchandise manager. You have a lot of opportunities to grow within the company and people are very approachable. If you reach out you can expect a timely response and assistance.

Cons

Depending on your location and the crew you work with will 100% determine how successful you will be. If you have a bad management team to work with you will struggle. Also the company has been very slow to improve the pay/bonuses of ALL management positions.

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
