Pros

Five below is a different company. I can’t explain what exactly it was but I learned so much more of a different way a company handles merchandise.

Cons

Revolving door, doesn’t pay enough, self checkout confusion, (one week we were to check out customers, the next we weren’t) the company is growing but I feel it’s too fast. They are looking at the big picture without seeing the failing details that aren’t working first.

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
