Pros

As long as time-off is requested 2 weeks ahead of time, your request is granted. Fun, energetic, atmosphere For all of you athletes; ESPN all day every day. You never mess a big game in any sport! Sales are easy to make and often enjoyable; however, you receive no commission. Great Deals on equipment and clothing. Not the greatest golf clubs to purchase and try out, but definitely not the worst! Decent starting pay out of college.

Cons

Takes time for advancement. Managers are rather unenthusiastic. Upper management could not care less who you are. They are almost entirely emotionless, and very unfriendly. For every $10,000.00 you make the company, you will be paid around $300-$411; at times you will earn the company this amount in a two day span... The only great deal you get on merchandise is during clearness events.

Pros

Employee Discount Access to Expert voice, which seems like no one tells you about, That's about it.

Cons

The biggest problem is there's no defined end to the night. We're scheduled until 9pm, but it's become normal to stay an hour, two hours, sometimes even longer past that because leadership keeps adding more tasks and finding new things to fix after everything is already done. It feels like the goalposts constantly move. My availability hasn't always been respected, communication has been poor, and there's a huge difference in accountability between employees. The people who work hard and stay busy all night end up staying just as late as the people standing around talking or doing nothing. Instead of addressing the actual productivity issues, everyone gets held hostage until leadership decides the store is finally good enough. I've worked retail for years, and every other place I've worked had a clear definition of what needed to be done before you could leave. Here, it feels like there is no finish line, which makes it impossible to plan your life around a part-time job. The discount and perks are nice, but the lack of consistency, the constantly changing expectations, and the uncertainty about when you're actually going home have made the job a lot more frustrating than it needs to be. If you're thinking about working here and want to work night shifts, plan on staying well past your scheduled end time until someone tells you it's "ok to leave". I was told I needed to ask for permission before clocking out, great leadership skills.
