      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Room to grow. Great teams when time to vet properly. Customers love our products. Marketing is done a fantastic job of driving sales to all sorts of demographics.

      Cons

      Security, More allocation of hours for morning shifts for freight. Reevaluate the closure of Self check out stations. bottom line money have been used to put in equipment that is deprecating. Minimum training hours given to labor so all employees have correct tools. Revolving door will stop and bottom line Retention will help push Five Below into the Black . As a Western Division Training General Manager It would be my pleasure to work at as a upper management employee for Five Below.

      Substandard Retail Job at the Time

      Sales associate/cashier
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      People who didn't quit or steal stock while working decent hours were likely to be offered a promotion to manager. Pay for that wasn't much better than standard part-time work, but it offered additional guaranteed hours. You get a small discount on store products.

      Cons

      Frequently understaffed with an extremely high turnover rate. Those who stuck around for any length of time were likely to be stuck managing the cash register, as the new employees were not trained effectively in its operation. Teaching them the correct locations of items needing to be restocked seemed to also not be a priority. Requiring involvement from managers on specific register functions, such as giving refunds, meant that during times when they were unavailable the line could be held up drastically. Cashiers were required to greet every incoming customer, regardless of how busy the register was, or else face reprimands.
