Pros

Lots of exercise from constantly walking and lifting materials. And you will be cross-trained in a lot of different areas the longer you stay.

Cons

Only minimum wage for having to micro manage 6 different areas of the store. Not much relief if you work in the Team Sports department and Bikes and Exercise.

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.
