Pros

Great stores Excellent merchandise Great advertising They have done a very good job of buying brands (Umbro, Maxfli, Field and Stream, Adidas baseball, Slazenger) so that their private label product looks like name brands

Cons

Extremely high turnover at all levels A number of Vp's, district managers and store managers have been let go without cause

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.
