Pros

The company has a very loose and carefree attitude. Also, I always felt very confident in approaching my supervisor with an issue.

Cons

After interviewing, it took Big 5 a month to hire me. They are very slow with background checks and calling people back to accept them into a position.

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.
