Business outlook
Pros
I work as a sales associate and a cashier, which gives me lots of opportunities to learn about a lot of cool products that Big5 carries, and I get to use my knowledge to help customers know and find what will best fit their needs. Employees get 10%-20% discounts on purchases. The workplace feels relaxed, but still professional and respectful.
Cons
All non-management employees are part-time, so we don't get benefits or lots of hours. Working retail hours can be difficult- sometimes closing late or opening early, with a different schedule every week and the store hours changing for holidays and things. There are occasional snippy or rude customers, and the constant music gets to me sometimes.
