Five Below reviews

- 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.

Almost 100% turnover, can't keep employees with toxic working conditions. The manager had to replace experienced management more than 3 times because they quit. Management is scheduled alone in a big store leaving employees open to danger. An associate was assaulted while working alone and the company said nothing. Extremely toxic upper management, Dms are hostile. No work life balance. I was called into work after open hours multiple times because of untrained employees being scheduled. Male employees will make a higher salary than female employees. Because of this, the company has released a new policy that prohibits sharing your hourly wage with other employees. There is NO TRAINING. You have to be perfect from day one.
