Pros
The people you work with are great, from managers to part timers. Easy tasks to perform and they schedule around you, which was important to me. A great place to have your first job. Honestly, it's world's better than having nothing and I'd rather work here than fast food. 95% of my cons are with how people not at the specific store operate, everyone at the store is great.
Cons
Corporate is out of touch with retail. Basically, Big 5 is 3-5 years behind trends and that gets frustrating to both employees and consumers. Little opportunity for advancement and Raises are NOT given to part time employees. Little to no benefits (10% employee discount). No commission. Strict dress code, which is nonsensical for sporting goods.
