      Pros

      Big 5 gives someone a good opportunity to get into management and learn the retail sales trade. The insurance was free to employees which is rare today . Advancement is easy if you are motivated.

      Cons

      The work hours and days off were very different and working at 6 various locations in a short time is not uncommon. Wages were below average for the duties and responsibilities expected.

      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.
