Pros
Dicks Sporting Goods sells fun! As corny as that sounds, its true. Usually the customers who shop there are nice and just need some help outfitting either themselves or their children. It really depends on the location as to how you are treated as an employee. Some stores have a great work environment while others are lacking.
Cons
The managers (who care about what they do and their stores) are over worked. Working 60-70 hours a week because of budget cuts, monthes on end has to throw up a red flag somewhere! While managers are given 2 weeks of vacation to start with the company has many black out periods where you can not take vacation. Working 7day work weeks with crazy hours (15+ hour shifts) is tiring.
