Pros

Laid back atmosphere Great for high school/college students who are sports enthusiasts Great employee discount 40% Easy to move up to store management

Cons

Crazy amount of employee turnover due to poor pay Lack of qualified individuals for job openings due to, once again, poor pay As a manager you are asked to do everything in the store from stock to administrative to sales Long hours and lots of overtime when the staff is shorthanded, which is usually is Fluctuating overtime means you make less during overtime hours than you would during normal workweek Upper management has very little regard for those under them Virtually no benefits Company has no sense of corporate paternalship
