Pros

Fast pace work, makes the days go faster Nice co-workers

Cons

Terrible pay if you’re a crew member trying to support a family. If you’re a teenager looking for a little spending money it’s a good first job. They give bonuses to upper management but none of it trickles down to the crew actually putting items on the shelves. They don’t even give you enough extra cash to stock the break room with snacks. A little appreciation goes a long way but Five Below doesn’t see that. I’ve been here a few years and never had a performance review. I think they avoid those so they never have a give you a raise.
