Pros

Decent benefit package, reasonable discount (access if you know where to look), reasonable hours (if your managers like you/listen to you), and decent compensation (if you don't need a liveable wage)

Cons

No focus on training be it management or staff, often understaffed in store meaning more upset customers for every single associate to deal with, a culture focused on metrics, metrics, metrics and not fixing whats wrong, and a lot of smoke and mirrors when upper management is visiting.

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.
