Pros

You are surrounded by equipment you probably know and love. Customers that come in WANT what you have and are often shopping for pleasure, making them easier to deal with. Deals on workout clothes are nice.

Cons

The company is obviously not doing great when everyone is working such limited hours. Expectations go up while resources go down. Having watched a few other sporting goods stores go out of business, this looks familiar.

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.
