Pros

Dicks sporting goods was a pretty good place to work for. As far as growth as an associate, management will trust the associates with responsibilities and give them an opportunity to advance in the company. As far as the benefits go you really can not get too much better than what they have to offer. They offer a great stock purchase plan that has done quite well and helps the overall salary. Also the chemistry within the stores is pretty high and it creates a good atmosphere to work in. Overall i enjoyed my tenure at Dicks and would recommend it.

Cons

They hire a lot of people from the outside as opposed top within

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.
