Sports Basement reviews

the people and flexibility of hours make this a great place to work. It feels like a big family working together to help locals her in the bay find great sporting goods at a great price.

The people that work for Sports Basement make it an unbelievably great place to spend your time. Most employees are passionate not only about their specific area (both floor staff and corporate operations) but above all about the company itself. The energy is positive and fun, with a healthy dose of focus and creativity. There is a decided air of autonomy that pervades the company, and if you think that something is important you can often find traction with your idea, which is extremely unique in a growing retail company. Moreover, everyone likes to have fun doing what they love - whether it is making signs, biking, running, putting out socks, or telling people about shoes, the people are what make this place worth working at! Another great thing about working at Sports Basement is that time-off is virtually unlimited. As long as your manager does not think that you are ignoring the job, most of them seem to be very willing to work with you to make your time-off as well as general schedule work with their needs. The company has some pretty great benefits that do their best to offset the frustrations of low salaries. Such as break rooms at all of their locations, free staff trips (paid for by the company), health care (for all full time staff!), and reimbursements for races that you want to do, not to mention stock options that accrue over time as well as a sweet employee discount! Overall, for a job to make ends meet for a little while, these make it pretty much totally worth it. In the long run, though they may not totally outweigh all of the negatives.
