Unsatisfying

Pros

Academy will give you flexible hours and/or work around your schedule if you attend college. Direct deposit is preferred.

Cons

If Academy's sales are low, they will cut hours and send people home early. But they hire new people during this time which cuts your hours in half. They will tell you that you have an opportunity to move up during your initial interviews, however later on you will discover that isn't the case. As a part-time associate, your max hours is 30 hours a week. As a full-time associate, your max hours will be 32 but hardly ever 40. Do not depend on this job to fulfill your needs like paying your bills, unless you are only looking for a little pocket money.

Not worth the stress and mistreatment

Pros

Vacation and beenfits are nice. Also have a decent cafeteria for good prices.

Cons

There is no movement unless your a "favorite" of upper management. Salary is very low and the raise/bonus are not even enough for pay increase to live. They get rid of good people and give the current people more responsibilities with no compensation and end up working overtime.
