Pros

The teams in the store. Good people that really try and work hard for very little! DO BETTER FIVE BELOW CEO AND CORPORATE!!!!

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Hire new cashier with no extra hours to train!! How?!??? Hire managers with one week of training. Why?!??? This is why the comoany will never succeed, no investment in their stores. CORPORATE NEEDS TO REMEMBER THE STORE ASSOCIATES ARE THE LIFE OF THE COMPANY!!!!! There is literally no payroll. Do not expect to get a lunch break as there is only one cashier and one manager all the time. How is that safe?!?!? Leaving people alone in very unsafe conditions. And do not even get me started on “corporate visits”. The dog and pony show!!! Walking a store with someone who has literally no clue what the store is like day in and day out. Please…get…a…reality…check…!!!!! Instead of paying your CEO’s $100,000 cash payments to stay with the company (read the news/google it) how about paying your managers more than $15.50 an hour or maybe giving a care about your employees. Just a sad, sad, despicable company that abuses their employees by over-working snd under-supporting them and burns out their management team by ineffective business choices. Five Below corporate needs to step away from their fancy offices and corporate buildings and see what the stores go through on a daily basis. SHAMEFUL
