      Disjointed Hierarchy, great coworkers

      Anonymous employee

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Easy to get the job, coworkers at the store level usually are very enjoyable to work with, if you like sports and outdoors, you will like the products you sell, benefits package is average

      Cons

      non-competitive pathetic pay, the only full time staff is management and the occasional head cashier. The company in general, the higher up the chain you go, the less logical the decisions made are. The work-life balance of retail is extremely stressful. pay is so little that their retirement plan is useless.

      Tasteless managers that only care about bottom line and poor management style with no interpersonal or people skills

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None. This company has a very poor Outlook and a very negative corporate management style

      Cons

      For starters very low pay horrible hours too much work to get done and not enough time allotted I personally watched this company fire a perfectly good manager and not tell him why they were firing him rather than giving him excuses to cover their rear ends true story. Not to mention not enough hours to go around part-time employees get 10 hours a week

      the pay was not great and not a lot of days off in a row almost went 3 months without a weekend off.
