Pros

Most of the other employees are good people and fun to work with. Access to new releases and clubs in the golf section. Employee discount is a nice bonus as well. Not a bad job for a high school/college student during the summer or part time. Pretty flexible schedule for a part time.

Cons

The starting rate for a part time associate is a joke for the amount of work they expect you to do. The store is always understaffed and you are expected to cover multiple sections, including your own. Some days can be unbelievably boring as well. Never have enough people staffed.

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.
