Pros

The atmosphere at Dick's is great. The job is sales so there is some pressure to perform, but it is not an unreasonable amount of pressure. In my opinion this simply makes the job even more rewarding when you accomplish the goals that are set. Management does a great job working from the philosophy that there is life outside of Dick's Sporting Goods.

Cons

Communication seems to not be a priority at Dick's. Recently, the store that I work in has gotten better, but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

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.
