Pros

High energy culture with a drive to succeed, they want to be the best and if you strive to be the best at what you do it is a perfect match. Senior management is respectful of the need for work/life balance and model that behavior. Dick's Sporting Goods gives back in many ways, a couple of examples are: local team sponsorships/donations and the St. Judes Children's Hospital "Thanks and Giving" program.

Cons

It is still a "high growth" company that is working to build processes and standards to ensure that work is done effectively. Standing out in the crowd can be a challenge if you are not an executive.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
