The rich get richer

Pros

The company has the feeling of a startup. Its in an infant stage of development. New corporate offices in CC are nice and clean. You get the chance to work with many young and fun people.

Cons

The money stays with the rich. While we were promised many chances to grow with the company, they would rather cannibalize employees from other companies than promote from within. The prices in the stores are Cheap, Cheap, Cheap and with the salaries its the same way. Your annual salary increase is based on a bogus performance review. The scoring is a joke. You are not judged on your skills, but on your management's interpretation of goals. Unless your get a promotion, you can expect a 1% to 3% raise, all while the company doubles its profits.

Pros

It's really a cake job. My schedule is very good and I'm guaranteed 40 hours an dont have to work a second over it. The hours are good, store is open untill 9pm and only 6pm on Sunday's. The staff always gets along and my GM is awesome.

Cons

The pay isn't good comparied to other retailers. Five below pays min wage for sales associates. Key holders make $8-$950. Assistants make $12-$14. And GM's make 40-45k. Not that great. Also the company has no clue about shipping. Pallets come in messy and they send you so much stuff you don't need. Customers often destroy your store with no regard. No hours, you're always short handed. Also, their management scheduling "guidelines" are stupid.
