Corrupt Business Practices With No Respect For Loyal Employees - Brand Designer DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

I spent almost 5 years with this company, arriving each day working hard, receiving very positive feedback from all managers and peers, yet failed to ever receive a substantial raise or any title change after advocating for myself. The management has absolutely no respect for people who try to advocate for themselves and fight for career growth within the company. FINALLY during the pandemic I was laid off, including hundreds of coworkers due to “the uncertain retail outlook” , yet this layoff was never disclosed by Dicks publicly. Within weeks of being laidoff, myself and dozens others saw our exact roles posted on job boards. For a company quick to lay-off so many, they seem to now be real eager to hire. Within our lay-off agreement, we all had to agree to never seek employment with Dicks in the future, LOL. I deserve better, my laidoff coworkers deserve better, and you reading this deserve better. This company is not some nice family owned business, it’s a corrupt corporate sham.
