Pros

Sports. .. helping people get what they need to have fun or be the best. Seeing kids smile.

Cons

This place sucks the life out of you. Too much to do with very little payroll. The SSC comes up with things to do and expects miracles with no resources. If you have a family, say good bye to them. We change things way to much! Ed, when was the last time you or your team worked overnight for one of your many moves? Ed Stack and the senior team do not care about you at all. You are truly a number here and that number means 65 plus hours a week and often 6 to 7 days. As a Store Manager you'll never bonus. Ed and his team will. You on the other hand will never.

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.
