Pros

Flexible hours, great staff, laid back casual environment, "Family Days" where employees and their guests can buy things at discounted prices on certain days of the year. Only Dick's employees and their guests are allowed in for that day.

Cons

Management can be out of touch with what happens in the sales floor. You can run a department a certain way that best fits your style and helps you be more useful to the customers but managers will just come in and if they don't like the way you set something up you will be scolded like a child and asked to make it "right." Pay isn't great but it's retail so it's expected.

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.
