DICK'S Sporting Goods reviews

I don't even know where to begin with these people. I enjoyed the job, but the lack of training I received made the job extremely difficult. There was no orientation period and the only training I received were some online tutorials about gun sales, and how much trouble I could get in if I screwed it up. I was given no instruction on even administrative things (i.e. getting a name badge, operating the time clock, setting up direct deposit, etc.). I was forced to run the entire department myself the second day I was there. Also, when I went to ask to get some time off for a family vacation (thee weeks before), my manager told me to fill out a request form, and put it in his mailbox. I did not hear anything about it for awhile, and assumed it must be approved. That was until I noticed a stack of requests hanging out of his mailbox, that he had not even touched. In the end, he did give me the time off. When I got back, I was notified that I would basically be getting replaced by a transfer and a previous employee, because I worked too slow for their liking. This was a result of me having to ask people how to perform certain tasks, since I was given no instruction or training on how to do them. Absolute nonsense.

picking up the slack of brown-nosers, treated poorly by stressed managers, people constantly pushing work onto other people, unrealistic expectations due to man power or high volume of traffic
