DICK'S Sporting Goods Lodge Associate/Operations Associate reviews

Within the store, work levels are high - salary budgets are set low by the District Management offices. Maybe for his max bonus benefit? Regardless it results in too many tasks and projects needing to be done by too few people and in too little time. Obviously this can often lead to less than perfect execution of a given project. Pressured managers trickle down to a pressured and stressful work environment. It often seems that senior management is way out of touch with what it takes to work on a sales floor. Store management positions are filled by outside of the company employees. So once you have hit a Lead position - forget about moving higher with this company. (I have heard that this is a specific quirk of the particular DM but have no confirmation of that). Bascically if you are on the retail side you can forget about moving into a salaried position in either the corporate level or management level.

-HORRIBLE stock room policies (nothing is ever kept in order) -Input is disregarded by management -A pat on the back takes more than hard work, but a repremand is just as easy to recieve as a blink of the eye
