Pros

Good stepping stone job. You will gain experience.

Cons

Extreme burnout culture. Little to no advancement. The company hires external people rather than advance from within. I needed more employees and I got 3 more bosses. Management is an inverted pyramid. Bullying occurs regularly.

Pros

Work life balance if in support

Cons

Five Below used to be a great place to work on the Supply Chain side until 2024. Lots of turnover in leadership. 3 of the 5 “ship centers” have lost the person in charge of the building. One site had 3 in one year, one left 4 months after starting, just quit with no job because of poor, bullying and snark leadership above them. Significant turn over below that level as well in all sites. People get beat people up on the biweekly leadership conference call in front of 30+, there was insincere recognition just to make it sound like a positive environment. Very toxic at the top level in Supply Chain. New leadership over IE and CI are pretty much clueless and lack any direction for the team. Team calls are constantly cancelled, moved or cut short and accomplish nothing. You will be left clueless on what it is that the team is trying to achieve. LMS is an absolute joke. No one buys into it, no one in leadership has any real direction for it, it’s dead yet they say it’s a focus. If you're looking at a CI or IE role or any role in the support side of Supply Chain I recommend a hard pass. Stay away.
