Pros

Benefits packages including great health coverage, 15% automatic 401k company contribution, dental. Tuition assistance and flexible schedules make this a great job for students and people looking for a fun job for extra cash and perks. Other perks include discounts on gear, cheap ski tickets, access to shop services, and much more...

Cons

Low hourly wages. Hours can be cut back severely if business slows. Full benefits packages not available until 1500 hours worked (part-time benefits packages available from date of hire). Quality of management varies from store-to-store, but most store management teams are woefully ineffective as leaders.
