Pros

The atmosphere at Dick's is great. The job is sales so there is some pressure to perform, but it is not an unreasonable amount of pressure. In my opinion this simply makes the job even more rewarding when you accomplish the goals that are set. Management does a great job working from the philosophy that there is life outside of Dick's Sporting Goods.

Cons

Communication seems to not be a priority at Dick's. Recently, the store that I work in has gotten better, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
