DICK'S Sporting Goods reviews

As far as management goes? This was the worse place i have ever worked! As an associate you get talked down to on a regular basis..unless of course, you are one of the managers "pets". Though i wasn't a cashier i often felt sorry for the CONSTANT pressure them folks had put on them to push them ole scorecards and St. Judes donations. Hours were constantly cut, so having any consistency in a paycheck was just ridiculous. I often heard CSM's plotting bad hours for other front enders that they didnt like. You often got overlooked for your hard work but they sure let you know if you made a mistake.

Within the store, work levels are high - salary budgets are set low by the District Management offices. Maybe for his max bonus benefit? Regardless it results in too many tasks and projects needing to be done by too few people and in too little time. Obviously this can often lead to less than perfect execution of a given project. Pressured managers trickle down to a pressured and stressful work environment. It often seems that senior management is way out of touch with what it takes to work on a sales floor. Store management positions are filled by outside of the company employees. So once you have hit a Lead position - forget about moving higher with this company. (I have heard that this is a specific quirk of the particular DM but have no confirmation of that). Bascically if you are on the retail side you can forget about moving into a salaried position in either the corporate level or management level.
