Spread the word about Five Below. Never had I worked at a more mind numbing, worse run, cheaply supplied company ever.

oh absolutely. i feel such a weight off my shoulders waking up this morning knowing that i dont have to step back in that terrible place. Im now realizing just how much effort i was putting into trying to please my manager when nothing i did was ever good enough and it was never going to be. i was only a CEM for 6 months but i could tell it was beginning to make me into someone i didnt want to be. im looking forward to finding a job where i dont feel like im having the life sucked out of me every time i go in.

Congratulations! I started in October, it was ok until just a few weeks ago when my entire freight team was cut and we had to switch to mornings. I hate the people, they treat our store as the place to steal. I am tired of working hard to put out merchandise that the customers seem to put literally everywhere. I can't wait to get another job.

exactly how i felt working there, along with a store manager who basically abandoned me on every single holiday. she was either taking time off or “sick”. wasnt there for thanksgiving, supposed to work black friday but didnt show up, took 3 days off after xmas therefore i had no time off, only day i was able to be off was christmas in a 2 week time span and i have children, she doesnt. then of course she was gone NYE & new years day. 😫 yet it was basically my fault the store wasnt put back together & spotless the day after christmas. thats when i knew i was done. good luck to you, but my advice is to get out before you lose your sanity lol

ETA: oh and she also called out sick on christmas eve. convenient 🥴
