DICK'S Sporting Goods reviews

stores run a low payrolls-managers have to boot strap projects all of the time. culture of company is thankless at the store level from DM>>>RVP>>>VP. no one is vested in your development. We have highly skilled mgrs in role for 5-7 years, but they keep being passed up for DM rolls, because the company keeps recruiting from Sears/Kmart. Work/Life balance is a mess. One weekend off a month. You are paid based on a 50 hour work week. most week are 6 days without comp time. high turnover of mgrs, associates, leads

High turnover due to the low tech operations, erratic and conflicting scheduling (even after clearly stating availability), expectation or pressure for associates to do more than what they are hired for. For examples: doing the work of two or more associates for extended periods of time (4 to 8 hours); irregular breaks/lunch (5 to 6 hours for a break, lunch, or both) for the same previous reason, you are the only person covering that department; providing operations support ((offloading trucks, work in the warehouse)), housekeeping other departments and the restrooms; working beyond the scheduled hours (some managers won’t allow employees to leave after closing until all, not just you, employees finish their close-out tasks). This could be a learning or motivating experience for some people but not for most (like teachers, coaches, etc, that are supplementing their income).
