Pros

Free food sometimes, open taps on Thursday, Cool looking office,free samples

Cons

This place is absolute chaos. Five below operates like a poorly run startup. There are no processes in place or proper training programs. There’s very limited opportunity to get promoted. Its a revolving door from entry level roles all the way up to the board. Seeing your co workers cry at their desks or in the bathroom is common. If you would like free pizza in exchange for working 12 hours pretty much everyday this is the place for you.

Pros

-Employee discount was great -Easy payment system

Cons

I was hired December 7th 2019, my first day was December 19th, my last day was January 12th 2020, I wasn't told I was fired until January 20th. In the short time I worked there I had 3 different managers, each one had their own set of rules and regulations. Trying to learn how to do the job and how to deal each boss was insanely difficult on top of it being the holiday season. My main issue is the fact that I was fired and never told about it. I left on the 12th thinking I'd be put on next weeks schedule and I never was, so I called them and apparently one boss told the other to tell me I was being let go and the they just conveniently forgot to tell me. I didnt even get my last paycheck until I called them and they told me I was let go. I also got no paperwork so once covid hit I had no way of claiming unemployment. Overall HORRIBLE management. I also had to clean up bodily fluids which was just nasty and not a part of my job description.
