Pros

- Inexpensive products Each item is under $5, good assortment of products Great place to bring your kids to get them excited - Most of the employees are willing to give you their employee discount ID if management is not around - Long store hours - Your uniform consists of t-shirt and jeans

Cons

- Training is almost non-existent. Upon hiring, you are put on a register with a 10 minute crash course on how to use the system. After that you're on your own - Discouragement, put downs, and demeaning behavior when you make a mistake - Employees will openly disrespect customers they don't like. These same employees are the ones that completely disregard the 5-Below employee code of conduct (wearing facial piercings, pocketing loose items, using profane language in the presence of customers, etc) - Management consists of a manager, assistant manager, and a few 'key holders'. The management will generally hang out in back while they stick the new associate up front by themselves - No career advancements. You'll be lucky to get 10 hours a week.
