Pros

Decent Discount I had a television with ESPN in my department. I couldn't stand around and watch, but it was nice being able to listen to games.

Cons

Store experience is manager dependent. I've never experienced a workplace that was as dependent upon the personality of the manager on duty Insufficient hours - our schedule was posted Sunday afternoon for the following week with constantly variable shifts and hours. Combined with the low wages, it is best seen as a last resort job or a second job, primarily for the discount. Because the Golf department has a a computer, it becomes the focal point of our online ordering system. As a result, the management team has you focused on completing sales for other associates instead of completing golf specific tasks like high margin repairs.

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.
