Decent Place to work but incompetent people all over the place

CEO approval

Pros

Interaction with customers Freedom to move around and complete different tasks Other hourly workers are fun to talk to during work

Cons

Some promotions given to incompetent workers who just kiss ass Managers keep you late to close but most of the time you are waiting for them to finish their work Some managers have no concepts of time management or how to effectively motivate others

Hard work, seldom recognized by management with too much focus on profit and little respect for associates.

Sales associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The shifts go by quickly because it is so busy. The associate discount is also a benefit, seeing as most employees there are interested in what the store is selling in the first place.

Cons

Management expects part time college associates to treat Dick's Sporting Goods as if it is their entire career. We receive constant feedback on our headsets (which must be worn at all times) about the sales numbers for that day- all disguised under the helm of 'excellent customer service'. You feel dirty pushing all these unnecessary products on families who clearly cannot afford it all, but want to make their kids happy. Sales associates do not receive commission for their efforts- most other retailers will provide their employees with some kind of compensation. The management was very disrespectful- I was even hung up on by a frustrated manager. Very unprofessional. The store I worked for has already had an almost 90% turnover since July- and the other 10% is just looking for another job before they can leave. No one is happy working there.
