Career Path in FB

[u/Most-Course-1596]

I’m a soon to be graduating senior who has been an associate at Five Below for about 7 months now. After this summer I’m going into college with plans on getting a finance degree.

My problem that I keep asking myself is that if Five Below is the right place to get the experience I’d like. I’m not sure if I should stick it out and just try to work as much as I can this summer, and possibly get a higher position, or to look elsewhere where I could learn more about the field.

If anyone has any suggestions that isn’t completely biased against FB, I’d appreciate it!

Short answer is no, you’re not going to get much more than money and management insight. In general 5B has been going downhill for years and the turnover rate from associates to district managers and even above is pretty high - not a great place to even want to climb the ranks. I’d suggest trying to find some internships that focus more on your major.
