Pros

High energy culture with a drive to succeed, they want to be the best and if you strive to be the best at what you do it is a perfect match. Senior management is respectful of the need for work/life balance and model that behavior. Dick's Sporting Goods gives back in many ways, a couple of examples are: local team sponsorships/donations and the St. Judes Children's Hospital "Thanks and Giving" program.

Cons

It is still a "high growth" company that is working to build processes and standards to ensure that work is done effectively. Standing out in the crowd can be a challenge if you are not an executive.

Pros

My fellow coworkers were the main reason I stayed. I think they look to hire outgoing people. For the most part everyone got along well, making the shifts when you had to be there at 6 a.m. for a truck a little better. Be expected to do all aspects of a job; even the managers have put on the rubber gloves to clean the bathrooms! They do have great merchandise and from what I recall there was a 25% discount. Sometimes various company reps would come in and that was a great learning and networking opportunity. They do have a good new hire training program, and there is room for growth as people continually transfer due to new store openings.Fairly high turnover. Overall the working environment was enjoyable based on the atmosphere created by employees, but not necessarily because of the company itself.

Cons

For the level of work done, the pay was not representative. As I mentioned before, everyone on all levels rotates cleaning duties that include cleaning the public restrooms, mopping, and vacuuming. For such a large, big box store I thought they would hire a cleaning crew. Seems like it would be more cost effective than keeping 7 people around an hour after the store closes. I was in a store that received about three times the merchandise that it was designed to hold, and then left to figure out a solution. I have not worked for many corporations where you have to be resourceful and literally build storage solutions out of things around the store. They do have good insurance, but it was a little costly...from what I recall for one person it was about $70 per biweekly pay period. So they offer it, but they do not cover a large percentage of it. I think you will see benefits monetary wise when you reach upper level management-if you can live off what the pay until you reach that level.
