Pros

Work life balance if in support

Cons

Five Below used to be a great place to work on the Supply Chain side until 2024. Lots of turnover in leadership. 3 of the 5 “ship centers” have lost the person in charge of the building. One site had 3 in one year, one left 4 months after starting, just quit with no job because of poor, bullying and snark leadership above them. Significant turn over below that level as well in all sites. People get beat people up on the biweekly leadership conference call in front of 30+, there was insincere recognition just to make it sound like a positive environment. Very toxic at the top level in Supply Chain. New leadership over IE and CI are pretty much clueless and lack any direction for the team. Team calls are constantly cancelled, moved or cut short and accomplish nothing. You will be left clueless on what it is that the team is trying to achieve. LMS is an absolute joke. No one buys into it, no one in leadership has any real direction for it, it’s dead yet they say it’s a focus. If you're looking at a CI or IE role or any role in the support side of Supply Chain I recommend a hard pass. Stay away.

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
