Pros

DSG is a great place to learn A LOT. There is growth in every direction and you can really take your time here and run with it. I started in 2014 and within 2 years I've received multiple raises and promotions, you just have to show your drive and most managers will help you in any way they can. I've been apart of multiple locations and held multiple titles and rolls, I've received multiple offers from other companies that have recognized my quick upward movement in the company. I never thought an entry level retail job would end up turning into a career that I love. If you're just looking for a summer job, DSG really supports those candidates as well, again as long as you're willing to actually WORK during that summer. It's generally a pretty fun environment, but of course there are the usual negatives that come with the retail world, especially with the volume DSG carries.

Cons

Keeps worthless employees too long. Sometimes you need to drink the "green kool-aid" in order for corporate to really buy into you.

Pros

As a lodge associate I enjoyed the every day interactions with customers. I really enjoyed selling hunting gear, guns, ammo etc.

Cons

Everything about management was disorganized and patronizing. Oh ad and at then end of the day they locked the doors to the store. Even if your department was cleaned up and everything accounted for you were forced to fold T-shirts and clean up after those who were lousy at their job. Basically you were held hostage.

Horrible Company to Work for

Pros

Some perks if you really like sports. Not all departments are bad. Nice corporate headquarters. They had a summer policy of letting people out at 3:00 on Friday's, but my boss was not a fan, so I never felt that I could take advantage of it.

Cons

My department was very contentious. The Directors all hated each other and energy spread throughout the department. My boss was not very ethical and seemed to be rewarded for that behavior as were most of the leaders that I worked with. I could not wait to leave the company. I left work every day with a stress headache.
