Pros

Flexible Schedule for Highschool Employees

Cons

My Son inputted the incorrect ACH information in Five Below's HR System. His very first paycheck was sent to some unknown party at Capitol One. Their HR deparment has given up on trying to assist us in getting his pay check leaving a 16 year old working 3 weeks for free for a company that generates over $3 billion in annual sales.

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
