Pros

- Growth is not impossible here, many people are internally promoted and gain management experience through Five Below. - Not extremely strict, and allows for diversity and self expression. Truly equal opportunity for queer/trans/POC/neurodivergent people.

Cons

- Low pay in every position. No incentives anymore for ASMs/leads. Extra hours put in make SM salaries not worth it. -Tenure does not equal pay. Personally have years invested into the company but get paid less. - Low amount of hours to distribute, managers are often cashiers. - SMs largely overworked trying to do every job, whether it be due to low hours or poor performance from CEMs/MMs. Salaried so no extra pay. - SMs no work life balance, since you don't get to clock out at 40 hours. - Unrealistic corporate expectations in regard to customers and policies. - Large amounts of change with unreasonably short notice. - DMs and higher often do not have your back. - Insurance offered is horrible.
