Pros

Big 5 Sporting Goods is a solid company with a proven track record of growth despite competition going out of business. Used to offer great benefits, but times have changed.

Cons

Big 5 gets everything they can out of their people but salaries do not show it. You might pickup up $60 in a year same store sales, but because the company only made 30 million, no raises.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
