Store level is great, Brass seems to be out-of-touch - Manager Trainee Big 5 Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Store level management and employees are great to work with and are usually good at their jobs Very friendly co-workers

Cons

Compensation leaves much to be desired. Raises for staying with the company and "moving up the ladder" are insignificant. No regular schedule, every week, you work different hours and days. Senior management seems to be somewhat out-of-touch with the store level management and employees. It feels like the company is stuck in the 90s, or possibly even earlier...

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.
