Pros

If you like sports, and wish to share that knowledge with others, than it can be a great atmosphere for you. Also, if you truly enjoy working with customers, than you may also enjoy many of the encounters. The employee discount is more than several other retail companies, at 25% of regular price. The wide array of sporting related services they offer can be a great boon to customer interaction.

Cons

Depending on the size of your store, certain policies and practices may be very ineffective and impractical. Like all businesses, strives for bare minimum payroll, to the point of under-staffing, which causes problems not only with workflow, but also with customer satisfaction. Does not offer more than minimum wage pay for most positions, unless necessary. Pushes its sales metrics to the point of being constantly unsatisfied.

Pros

Doing something i love talking to customers about the products i live and use. for the most part good co-works and managers depending on location.

Cons

cutting of hours, no pay roll, Under paid for the amount of work/ coverage for the lodge department. basically you have to be the person to run roughly 25% of the store and typically you are the only one working the floor due to payroll. Lodge could be made up into 5 separate departments depending on season. and removing products for a PR stunt and making us have to deal with all the angry customers cause you promised something you could not deliver. lots of pushing of credit cards, also never have enough product to do things they ask.
