Pros

Good discount, a lot of good people. Fun work environment. Good product and sales training.

Cons

They push that ridiculous credit card too much. Very long hours on weekends. 10+ hours working in retail sales is mentally draining. Im not sure if I was a shoe salesman or a credit card salesman. Pay is too commission driven. PT sales will experience big monthly pay swings.

Pros

The people are a big pro, minus the majority of the ASLs. I enjoy the level of professionalism and the standards for behavior. I also like the strict rule system. Keeps the standard of my coworkers high so I can trust them more.

Cons

Everything is personal with management. If you upset the wrong ASL you can kiss your job goodbye. Also, raises and promotions follow a strange pattern with SCHEELS... If you are pregnant, going to have a kid, or just had a kid-- you will get whatever promotion they can throw at you. Sometimes they will even create a job for the lucky baby mama/daddy. If you are not planning on procreating, do not plan on getting a raise. Although, getting married to someone from within SCHEELS seems to help with promotions, too. The crazy amount of spouses, kids, girlfriends and boyfriends all magically ending up as ASLs is nothing short of a miracle. It must be an interesting job application process. Oh, and LGBT individuals...warning. Close minded company, very conservative values that may become a problem, depending on who you work with.
