Pros
Being a rapidly growing, privately owned company, Academy manages to hang onto the more personal atmosphere of a smaller business. It is a good place to work, and learn to work as a member of a team.
Cons
Sometimes, there is a breakdown of the management process. Some managers tend to just blame their associates for things not being done, rather than consider that their management skills could play a part. However, that is more of a reflection on the individual manager than on the company itself. Academy, as a company, is working hard on improving its associate training program to insure all employees are equipped with the necessary skills to be successful.
