Pay - Sales Associate Columbia Sportswear Employee Review

Pros

Liberal policies. As a part-time associate you get 30 min of wellness hours for each 20 hrs you work. The pay is better than most retail jobs here.

Cons

I get paid $17 after working for a little less than a year after I was paid $16 when I was first hired. Come to hear from one of my managers that a Columbia Sportswear Store is opening up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and they’re hiring employees at $19 even though down here in Florida our cost of living is higher! I understand it’s because that Columbia store is opening up at a new mall, so they’re offering competitive pay to distinguish themselves from other stores, but it’s still disappointing.

Positive environment, great training, pride in products and technology.

Pros

Good work-life balance and benefits.

Cons

What was once a pro for culture has now become a con. Uncertainty due to massive layoffs. Remote work has been largely eliminated, and thus flexibility has decreased signficantly. Offshore and AI initiatives to reduce local US workforce. Although collaboration is encouraged, departments are siloed and operate independently which causes significant inefficiencies costing the company millions of dollars. Diversity is also lacking in a number of departments. Over reliance on external consultants instead of leveraging internal expertise.
