Pros

Discount 25% off soft goods and 10% off hard goods

Cons

They make you work really long shifts with no breaks. they would schedule me for just under 8 hours so I couldn't get a lunch. There is a lot of pressure to sell credit cards and sporting cards. They don't tell you any information about credit cards either. The managers also hover and would yell at you through the headset.

Pros

It's fun to interact with athletes and help them achieve their goals.

Cons

As with any part-time job in this economy today, hourly pay for part-timers is so much lower that the cost of living. Just to cover my internet access each month (which is now considered an essential living cost), it takes 6 hours of work. For the minimal increase in hourly pay if I took a full-time job at DSG, I wouldn't be able to cover even 70% of my living expenses (housing, food, transport, internet, phone). It's a sobering thought as we navigate this country's massive wealth disparity.
