Big 5 Sporting Goods

Engaged employer

They are frugal, to put it mildly, and un-supportive of their employees. - Cashier Big 5 Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

They're usually hiring, so that's a plus. The people that work at Big 5 aren't necessarily bad people.

Cons

I know some employees that have worked there for over 4 years and have only had a pay raise once. A $0.15 pay raise! The turnover is ridiculous.

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.
