If you enjoy sporting goods, it's a good place for line-level associates to work. decent discount on most items. they give back to local youth sporting groups and associations.

Cons

lack of vision and implementation by upper leadership. short-sighted local leadership. poor pay structure for assistant managers and many line-level associates.

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.
