Pros

Great place to work if you love the sport of running. Went in everyday excited to be there and loved my coworkers and upper management. Very fun to learn about new shoe technology when new shoes come out.

Cons

If you are looking to move into a sales rep position at a shoe company it can take a few years but thats just the reality of the industry.

Pros

-Potential to learn a great deal about the running industry, simple biomechanics, and connect with great people at your "home" store and at different running-related companies.

Cons

-complete lack of HR department means people do not get regular performance reviews (and therefore raises are not awarded) -while formal training is provided about running apparent and shoes, there is no formal training for providing a gait analysis (which is what this company provides itself on "expertly" providing). Employees are encouraged to learn by observing other employees, who themselves were never trained by someone who is capable of performing a proper gait analysis. -scheduling mix-ups are often not resolved in a satisfactory manner - employees are often expected to come in regardless of mistakes with little consideration or appreciation shown. In addition, during "busy seasons" employees are often expected to work an incredible amount of hours with little regard given for preference or availability, or any real appreciation shown. -very little room for professional advancement
