Pros

Great employees and supervisors to a point,enjoy working with my co-workers. Good discount program.

Cons

No great advancement opportunities,unless you are good friends with supervision. Even seen one employee told by his supervisor that he was awarded a crew leader position that he interviewed for,but,15 minutes later,he was told that the mgr. decided to give the position to someone else that didn't interview. They have an efficiency program,that has some misgivings,like an across the board number to reach,but,each person that is doing the job could be way ahead of others,and you have one or two people that do the easiest jobs while everybody else has to hustle to attain their goals.

Pros

Great team of like minded people. Generally encouraged to change and innovate. Decent work life balance, and fascinating to work in sports if you like sports.

Cons

No opportunities to grow. Very vague and lack of transparency on professional development opportunities and processes. About 30% under market value for level of responsibilities and effort provided.

Pros

They take care of you, seems like everybody knows everybody which is weird for such a large company. Every person seems to look out for one another and it is easy to move up in the company

Cons

The retail side of things lent the greatest since they are new so they are still trying to figure things out
