Pros

People are super friendly. Has good benefits.

Cons

Incredibly micromanaged, they have checklists for what you are supposed to be doing for almost every hour minute by minute. Training is incredibly brainwashy, Dicks is just a retail store not some new way of life. They expect way too much of you and do not want you to think for yourself everything is about finding how dicks wants you to do something and doing it that way.

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.
