Decent temporary job, but don't make it a career - Footwear Sales Associate DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

You get a good discount on most soft goods, and first dibs on sale items. You also get some great discount coupons from time to time. Good way to gain sales experience.

Cons

Very low pay for the high expectations they put on you. I worked in footwear and it was overwhelming at times by myself. I worked hard though, and sold a whole lot of shoes and warranties. It didn't pan out in any kind of incentives from the company though.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
