Pros

Dicks pays well so people don’t leave until they break. Great way for internal candidates to move up and make good money. Dicks sells great product.

Cons

Worst leadership from the RVP level to the top of the company. They are so worried about DEI they forget about just treating people well. The company is the worst retail experience o have ever witnessed

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.
