Pros

If you've never had a professional job before and you're fresh out of school it's a start Casual dress code Pretty laid back If you work hard you can advance or transfer to other departments CEO is approachable and tells it like it is

Cons

For the amount of work you do, the pay rate is laughable compared to the rest of the industry. Even if you have tenure There's a reason the turn over rate is incredibly high. You'll either be worked to death (60+ hours a week) or starved for hours (less than 30) depending on the time of the year. You'll be lead to believe that you're close to getting bonuses, but when the fiscal year is over you receive nothing. Management is pretty poor. Communication is virtually non-existent.

Pros

Some nice people, discount on merchandise, casual dress code.

Cons

Very poor pay compared to industry standards. Company sets unrealistic sales goals and overworks you during peak season but denies you a bonus or increment because the company did not an inflated sales goal. Many managers and people in decision making positions such as QA manager and Dev manager lack the basic skill sets and qualifications required for the job. They found themselves in managerial roles because the company grew too soon and promoted people to positions based on years served. Poor communication to team members and communicating false information seems to be a norm here. Such managers need to be let go because they will never resign themselves as they will never find a position at the same level elsewhere.

Pros

The company has a great story. If you're passionate about everything sports it's a great place to be.

Cons

New leadership is changing the culture. It's becoming a dictatorship that has no buy in from employees or middle management. It's feast or famin, everyone out for themselves as it relates to top leadership.
