Pros

Good pay Fun products and customers Good benefits and 401k matching

Cons

Upper management is fully disconnected from what the store manager experience is Overworked, exhausted, under-staffed and unbelievable operations expectations. Company says it was voted a top place to work but I can assure you that store managers were not polled. They have lost touch with reality and taken the fun out of helping athletes find fun sporting goods items.

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.
