Pros

Get to work with sports

Cons

Dicks 2.0 is a huge mistake and not customer friendly. Taking people off the floor and cutting payroll and hoping people get trained. There is no more pros working in the buildings there is under trained managers trying to help customers while trying to do there job. Managers hours increased along with work load. Don’t work here if you want to be a manager as you will not manage you will be an associate and still be expected to drive results.

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.
