It's fine in the short term. Not so for the long term. - Retail Sales Associate Big 5 Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Hard working sales team willing to collaborate and tackle projects together and/or individually.

Cons

Management is less than effective and comprises of much confusion and miscommunication. There is no real opportunity to grow within the company and promotions to management are not worth the additional load of new responsibilities. Lack of hours and few opportunities for a raise/improvement in quality of life in the work environment proves working at Big 5 to be an insufficient and suffocating environment to work in.

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.
