Pros

Surrounded by sports fans and people who are passionate about their job

Cons

Same upper management team has been in place for years as sales have dropped considerably, with no clear direction for the future of team licensed apparel and headwear sales, especially in malls. Most of the executive team has been with the company for years and are basically untouchable, they have never been held accountable for their actions or their results. When times were good they could do no wrong and praised themselves over and over, when times are bad like they are recently, they find fault in all other departments. These executives only look out for themselves and go to extreme lengths to stop any bit of negative information to make its way past them. They tout their company culture as fun and loose, but it's no different then any other large company, it's a far cry from where it was years ago, long time employees all see the difference and are very bummed out by it. It really is sad because it was a great place to work for years, people loved coming to work and now they just dread it. Pay is well below industry standards.
