      Pros

      Looking back, I honestly saw no Pros working for that company. With the exception of being an alternative to McDonald's as a first job, i was left with a bad taste in my mouth.

      Cons

      The supposed "competitive wages" are the state minimum wage. This may seem petty, but the music that played daily was the same playlist. There were sometimes multiple versions of the same song that you could hear multiple times throughout the day. I was (UN)fortunate enough to be nominated to help open 2 other stores in the state, and while they do offer $.55 a mile from my original store, it took 11 months for me to receive that money. I was an employee for a little under 2 years and by that point had worked at the store for longer than any of the current management. There was only one raise opportunity without promotion and that came with the ineffective performance reviews. With exemplary marks in every category except "E-mail Retrieval," the hardest worker remained at the minimum wage.

      Pros

      There's always something to be working on at 5 Below, so your'e never bored...but it gets repetitive after a while. Props to their concept of taking a "Dollar Tree" and making it more inviting to the teen and young adult niches.

      Cons

      Ask to much to be done with little compensation. Breaks as management are not enjoyable, unless there is an additional manager within the store.
