      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.

      Pros

      Part timers are treated like gold. Sales staff on the floor get wages plus commission and have annual chances to win great trips and cruises. The flip-side is that no such incentive is offered to the support staff such as clerical or freight and receiving. ESOP is terrific if you can stand to work there long enough. After 25-30 years with the company, you could retire with $500,000. Opportunities are available to anyone with sales floor experience who wants to enter the management training program. Scheels arguably provides the best Customer Service around too.

      Cons

      Micro-managing can be intense and counter productive. The management training places so much emphasis on learning how to dodge the financial and wage concerns of the employees. Even during annual assessments, you're not allowed to discuss it. They tell us our families should come first, but expect to learn that they talk the talk but don't walk the walk. Upper management lives in mansions, while many of the full time employees take second jobs just to make ends meet.
