Pros

Company that has continued to grow through the challenging sporting goods retail brick and mortar market. If you enjoy being competitive this is the place to be.

Cons

Constant change in the retail environment has created the negatives as the company has fought hard to stay profitable. This can cause, at times things to get a little stressful and even overwhelming. Build a solid team and you will make it through anything they can throw at you. Work life balance depends on your skill as a manager and your boss.

Pros

Corporate is 10/10. At a large company, every department is different but they value their customers and employees and offer great benefits. Rewarding to work there

Cons

Not much to say. Best employer I’ve had

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.
