Five Below Keyholder/Manager reviews

Part-time managers get 25 hours a week or less during non-peak season. All other part-time associates get a shift or two a week. Great employees leave for other jobs because they can't afford to stay. Management talks about the idea of developing talent and promoting from within, but most promotions I have seen have been outside hires.

Management beyond the store level was severely out of touch with individual store needs. What works for one store in the district may not work for all stores. They need to allow room for some variation between how each store is run. I also did not appreciate how a particular manager treated her job and her employees. While she slacked off, myself and the rest of the store associates did our work and had to take on jobs that were hers. Several people complained to the DM, but nothing was done. If I have to do the work required of someone else's job, I should be compensated for it. The number of hours part-time employees get to work each week is pitiful. Rather than hiring a lot of people and then scheduling each person from 0-4 hours each week, hire a smaller number of people and give them more hours.
