Pros
As a salaried manager, you are guarranteed a steady paycheck. The health (medical, dental, vision) are better than most retailers, way better. Dick's matches .50 to every $1 you put in your 401(k). They offer tuition reimbursement up to $2000 a year. Fast paced, always changing, and plenty of things to do!
Cons
Salaried managers never, ever work 40 hours a week. Shifts are minimum 10 hours a day, 5 days a week and you're lucky if you only work 50 hours a week but you get paid for 40. Once in a sales manager position, you are on your own to move up the food chain. Little to no professional growth or asistment in career advancement. Degrees mean NOTHING to Dick's- managers with high school degrees make the same amount of money as ones with bachelor's or master's degrees. Little to no training on how to be a manager (if you get promoted from an hourly position)- especially in HR training. Don't plan of being recognized for achievements... And plan on training yourself.
