Pros
-discount -flexible schedule -there are TV's in the store so if there is a major sporting event on and you have to work at least you can watch/listen to it
Cons
-micro-managing -disrespectful uneducated management - told to do 3 different things from three different people - NO payroll; you have to run around like a chicken with your head cut off - regardless of your job title or department that you work in, management makes you do BS tasks all over the store -they need to get their act straight; do they want associates to be customer-service oriented or task-oriented. When you try to do both, you are scolded. - the customers; the average customer is a slob and can't even put something back on a hook. A lot of them ask for random discounts. This isn't a flea market!!! - Corporate people don't have a clue - Most Loss Prevention Managers and District Managers think they are all high and mighty and don't even have the decency to acknowledge you...unless they see you not greet a customer that is 100 feet away from you -In a nutshell, Dicks Sporting Goods used to be a fun, upbeat place to work. It has gone severly downhill over the years. It is a miserable place to work. You are expected to do above and beyond what is realistic with the resources that you have to work with.
