Pros

Only pro I can think of is discount- customers are also super friendly, which makes it bearable to work.

Cons

The store I work at is super cliquey- I am relatively new (two months) and never encountered such unpleasant work conditions at a job in which seemed like the dream to counteract with my full time job. Unfortunately after this holiday season I will be quitting. I have a hearing impairment and not only am I getting shut out of conversations from coworkers, but management as well. They have no disability instruments for radios, so I often have a tough time with anything radio related since sometimes I cannot hear. Often also left doing the grunt work of closing the store while the closing manager on duty talks up a storm with the other apparel associates on shift- aware that I am straightening apparel myself on more than three occasions. Although all cons mentioned above besides disability tools for the hearing impaired are store related and not an overall fault of Dicks- but one value that led me to apply here was that you prided yourself on inclusivity and diversity- don’t know if I’m the first hearing impaired associate at Dick’s but until there are some support tools set in place, I wouldn’t encourage anyone else who had a disability to apply here.

Pros

It's fun to interact with athletes and help them achieve their goals.

Cons

As with any part-time job in this economy today, hourly pay for part-timers is so much lower that the cost of living. Just to cover my internet access each month (which is now considered an essential living cost), it takes 6 hours of work. For the minimal increase in hourly pay if I took a full-time job at DSG, I wouldn't be able to cover even 70% of my living expenses (housing, food, transport, internet, phone). It's a sobering thought as we navigate this country's massive wealth disparity.
