Pros

benefits offered, decent coworkers, decent hours

Cons

I was given the work of 4 or 5 people and expected to complete all of it alone on insane deadlines. For example, 5000 sticker markdowns in 2.5 days on random merch items located throughout the store, both sales floor and back stock. This is while I am being called up front every 10 mins to run a register (not my job), and constantly having to open fitting rooms for customers. on top of also being made to work on ship from store for hours on end (nowhere in my job description nor was it mentioned in my interviews or on-boarding). Management's bonus structure/the store report card are dependent on metrics derived from price changes and ship from store completion, so expect insane workload, lack of support, and mediocre pay. I wouldn't do this job again for $30/hour let alone $15.

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.
