Pros

Fun products, attracts young (and young at heart talent), lots of freedom to do sets with what you have on hand, always busy, and growing rapidly. There is something new on every truck, so that's fun. Our district manager is awesome. Since the company is focused on teens, our uniforms are laid back (jeans, Five Below tee) and it's pretty much however you want to express yourself. Tattooed arms? Fine (as long as not obscene). Distressed jeans? Fine (as long as you're not exposing yourself). Pink hair? Fine. Nose or lip piercing? Don't think anyone will care.

Cons

Not enough payroll to fully staff store, a lot of sets where we don't have payroll to do, so you have to just figure it out, have to take daily pictures of departments for anyone in the company to see and pick apart, very rapid expansion, not enough pay for job, not enough communication between corporate and the stores.
