Not worth it’

Pros

As a store manager you have some what of an ability to cultivate and grow future leaders with the limited training provided.

Cons

Upper management is no help at all. High turnover rate due to the low wage they pay employees. Limited training, non continuation education, antiquated processes, work life balance is not part of Five Below cultural, AP is non existent, no added protection for high theft stores. Was threatened by an employee and reported it to upper management and AP and for twelve days not one upper management or asset protection employee reached out to me concerned about the safety of me, my staff or the store whom this individual threatened bodily harm . It’s not worth it.
