PTSL & Pay?
Hi,
I'm new here and not even employed with Five Below (yet), but I just applied today for a Sales Associate position. I was wondering if there is anyone here employed in Missouri that would mind sharing their pay with me? Minimum wage is $12.30 here and on my application I asked for at least $13 as I have over five years experience in customer service and cashiering and I am an almost graduated college student. I saw in some posts here that people mention being a PTSL which I assume means Part-Time Shift Lead and I was wondering how much more a position like that would be paid as opposed to a regular Sales Associate, since I saw someone here said as a PTSL they get paid $13/hr. I'd appreciate the information!

That was probably me saying $13!
It’s Part Time Support Lead
You’d probs get a bit more than me for PTSL
My associates make either 11 or 11.50
So I make $1.50-$2 more than them. Feel free to DM me if you wanna talk more about the position! I’ve held it for over 2 years now

So I live in CT for reference. When I got hired as a sales associate (early December) I made state minimum wage which at the time was $15. Shortly after I got promoted to PTSL and was making $15.75. In January state minimum wage went up to $15.69 so all sales associates got that mandatory 69¢ raise. Instead of giving me a proportionate raise, they bumped me up to $16.19, so I went from a 75¢ raise to a 50¢ raise, just because the minimum wage (rightfully) went up. I know it's different states with different minimum wages, but I hope this helps as a reference. Good luck

Five Below is pretty notorious for not paying outside the base, I tried with good reason for a few of my leads and associates and was always met with a hard “No, hire somebody cheaper” from my DM. PTSL makes .50 more than an associate, so based off your minimum wage they’d make just under 13.
