      I HATE MY JOB!

      Pros

      You almost cant get fired unless you steal. They offer tuition reimbursement, and i met my fiance there so that would be the biggest pro to working for Academy.

      Cons

      First off I have only worked at one Academy store so I cant say this is true for all Academy stores but this is what I have gathered from my time in service to Academy. Low Pay Incompetent Managers Not Enough Hours No Holiday or Quarterly Bonuses

      Favoritism and Gossip

      Pros

      Discount is ok Different Duties everyday

      Cons

      Gossip and Poor Management. People who kiss up the most get the most hours, while those who dont are ignored. Managers could care less about their own departments, they're more interested in flirting with employess. Managers bear grudges and will treat you VERY differently if they see you as "Different" ----DO NOT SPEAK UP FOR YOURSELF, OR THINK TOO MUCH---

      Pros

      able to learn a little bit of everything (merchandising, plan-o-gram, customer service, price audit, inventory), meet good people, and pretty decent discount

      Cons

      some managers dont recognize your hard work everyday. promotions based upon favoritism half the time. coporate office always makes policies left and right to make it harder for employees to have a good work environment.
