      Pros

      Pay is decent for retail, great discount.

      Cons

      It's one of the busiest stores in Lincoln, ALWAYS busy so you run your butt off. Micromanaging at it's finest. Always expecting waaay more than you can do.

      College job that pays well.

      Pros

      "Sports Specialist" position offers great pay for a college job--base pay + commission. If you work hard and are honest, you will succeed. It's a sales job, but if you are a friendly person who genuinely wants to help people find what they need and are willing to suggest other items, you will be able to make your sales goal. Work with fun people, so you can meet new college friends. If you have a creative eye, they will let you help with displays which is fun. You make a lot of money if you work a lot around Christmas when sales are highest. Awesome employee discount of 50% on most products. Can special order products from the top brands they carry at employee discount rate. Very flexible with scheduling! An overall good employment experience.

      Cons

      Required to sell their credit card. Emphasis on talking to every customer can end up annoying customers because they get bombarded by employees. Have to work most weekends. Must attend store meetings every Wednesday night at 9 P.M. You must make your sales goal (or get fired). Can't make purchases with employee discount unless product has been in store for a month or more. They keep doing better as a company, so they keep pushing their employees for more and more sales--can make sales people feel disingenuous. If you work in softlines (clothing), you will generally make the least amount of money compared to salespeople in shoes, midlines (equiptment), and hardlines (guns etc.) because the items you sell don't cost as much.

      Pros

      Managers give sales associates a very personalized sales training. They are patient, and truly want employees to succeed. Great group of employees to work with.

      Cons

      Although advancement is encouraged, it takes a few years minimum.
