Pros

The company is driven to connect with consumers through all channels, and the product is king. I worked in golf, and the dedication to getting the best experiences for consumers was unsurpassed. The finances are sound, and will be as long as Ed Stack is in charge.

Cons

Like many in retail, there is a challenge in balancing long and short term needs. The long view is often sacrificed when yesterday's numbers were lower than the forecast.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
