Pros

Great environment for sales promotion and customers are usually passionate about their sport. I enjoyed the interactions that the store provides.

Cons

As a sales manager get ready to work, a lot. The company changes planograms like a baby changes diapers. The company is always pushing out new programs and wants them set yesterday. As a sales manager you have to pick up the slack since extra payroll isn't provided for added projects. Nothing new to an experienced retail manager though.

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.
