      No loyalty - Hardlines Manager DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

      Pros

      Had the pleasure of hiring and working with my own team.

      Cons

      Upper management was awful. The DMs were disconnected from what the true day to day store operations entailed. From an upper management standpoint the company is based on a culture of fear, there is no room for honest dialogue ... hit your numbers or else. All employees, hourly or otherwise, dreaded corporate visits. There is extremely high turnover and no loyalty to management or other employees. Extremely political as far as advancement is concerned with limited room for upward mobility once you have been slotted into a department manager position.

      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.
