One of the worst companies to work for.
Pros
Management is typically more relaxed, but it all depends on your location.
Cons
Very bad pay, Assistant Store managers don't make much more than associates. Extremely large and unrealistic work load. Or completely dead and nothing to do. Both locations will pay the same regardless of sales volume. Spends money on Self check outs, but then made us go back to hand checkout 1 by 1. Then did not give the hours we used to have before self checkout. Making recovery and tasks impossible. Freight process is extremely inefficient, and is company policy. All work goes on the Merch manager and no one helps. You become backed up and as a Assistant Store Manager you are nothing but a box boy. Sets are made a year in advance. Yet they are always incorrect, wrong spacing, wrong or missing product. And unrealistic deadlines. Training is awful, trying to move up to anything higher than ASM is a buddy system and will be very unfair to others. Five Below doesn't appreciate you as a person, employee, or even the highest volume sales Store in your district. All they care about is opening new stores, and neglected employees pay and removed bonuses.
