Better than other retail, but still retail - Cashier Big 5 Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Customers tend to be more understanding and friendly than at department stores. Co-workers are engaging. Company provides lockers for you to lock your stuff up during a shift.

Cons

No room for upward movement if you are a woman or a cashier (all women are made cashiers, all men are put in sales. A promotion to Jr Mgr is only possible from a sales position). That includes moving to full time.... being 'Head Cashier' is a unionized option that doesn't exist anymore.
