Pros

Fun place, great co-workers and managers, selling great premium brands! We sell a lot of neat merchandise and interact with customers that have a passion for sports and outdoors.

Cons

Expectations from the "corporate office" are confusing. I don't think that the executives at the corporate office understand what our customers want and they don't connect with the associates in stores. A couple of months ago we had an "executive visit" and the VP did not smile once and I witnessed him walk past several customers and associates without saying anything, which is what we are told not to do!?!

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.
