Enjoyed My Time There

Pros

I met a fantastic group of people while working there. Even years later, I still consider them friends. Great discounts and family/friend discounts. Surprisingly generous, in my opinion. Especially compared to another sportswear company I have worked for. Pretty chill work environment.

Cons

Not a "climb the ladder" type of company. They mostly hire outside sources for managing positions rather than promoting those already working there. When I was lucky enough to become a key holder full-time, my hourly wage went up maybe by $0.50 and still some part-time sales associates were getting paid more than me.

Pros

Product discount, flexible friends/family list, PTO

Cons

Low pay for most positions compared to market standard. Senior leadership changes directions too often. No stable direction. Outsourcing multiple departments overseas. Management does not support employee's. No support when false claims are made against employee. Minimal growth opportunities unless you know people in higher positions.
