While the merchandise is great, the management is completely ridiculous. I worked there as a seasonal employee and just in the short time I was there, they fired their best employee, who was in charge of the nightly stocking. Then they moved all stocking to day time hours so the store was always a mess and boxes were everywhere. Management asked me to come in extra all the time (which I had no issue with and usually said yes). However, one day I was asked to come in an hour earlier than I was scheduled and it was a morning shift. I told them that I would prefer not to and the boss called me a "big baby". They were constantly giving us tasks to complete while we were on register and even if we had huge lines the entire day and never got to leave the register, they called us lazy when we did not complete the extra tasks. I personally witnessed a manager, that no longer works there, call all of the employees "lazy sh**s" and other curse words, in the middle of the entrance to the store with customers present. They did not even care for the customers. My aunt came in with her son and he had to use the restroom. There was no toilet paper, as usual, in the "employees only" restroom. The manager handed her a box of tissues and told her to bring the box back when her son was finished. No apologies whatsoever. One day I showed up, on the Saturday BEFORE Christmas, and when I looked that the schedule, they had simply removed me and a few others. Their reasoning was that they were "phasing out seasonal employees" and "there weren't enough hours". Oh and that same week...they hired several new employees and switched everyone to 40 hour weeks instead of 20 hours as was the norm. Makes sense to me. They never had enough people scheduled. One night I closed the entire store with only my boss, who was of no help much of the time. They gave no notice and did not even approach us about the changes. We had to ask why our names were not on the schedule. That night I took my first break and I went home after without finishing the shift. I would not recommend going there and I would completely advise against...
Read moreI went to this Five Below because I had been to the one in The Woodlands previously, so I knew they had a nice candy selection. Store might be a bit small and lacking in terms of selection, however that's not anything the store has much choice over. Besides, I personally came to pick up some sweets for me and my girlfriend and I was extremely surprised with how much I had to choose from! I took photos of everything they had to ask my girlfriend what she wanted and have attached those photos to my review. Some of these candies seem to be really hard to find, so to find so many all in one spot was perfect! Plus at the stores name suggests they were all $5 or less! I was especially surprised to find rock candy of all things! It's always been one of my favorites, but is notoriously hard to find. Another thing was their decent selection of different Pocky flavors. It wasn't too busy the day I went and the lady working seemed very helpful to the other people there that day, and I personally found her...
Read moreI’ve been a regular at this store for a while, but after what I saw today, I don’t know if I’ll ever come back. The manager, Yamica I think is her name? Was flat-out rude and disrespectful to one of the cashiers right in front of customers. She talked down to her and acted like she had zero respect for her staff. It was honestly disgusting to witness.
No employee deserves to be treated like that, and no customer wants to see a toxic manager making the whole store uncomfortable. If this is how management behaves, it says a lot about the culture here. The store seriously needs to take a hard look at who they have in charge, because Yamica is a terrible representation of...
