Pros
The only Pro is the ability to move between different big 5 locations very easily by submitting a transfer request.
Cons
Big 5 used to offer things like free benefits and cheap co pays as added benefits for their employees. They now charge an absurd amount for benefits, both medical and dental, and have recently DOUBLED the co pay charge when seeing a Doctor. Monotony and extended long hours with little to NO praise about the hard job you've done should really detour you from a management position with this company. It takes a million horizontal moves before you get one lateral promotion up the chain. The music is also insanely outdated, humdrum and depressing. Update your music and your image to sync with the times already..
