Pros

8-5 mentality for most employees

Cons

Office morale is at all time low and new management team cleaning house didn't help much. Everything looking forward is turning Academy into Wal-Mart. Academy used to be a family owned company and that showed in how the employees were treated. No one in the buying office is happy anymore. It has taken a turn for the worst. You have a few key leaders who are running the show but not paying attention to the people it takes to get the job done.

Pros

The customers there were wonderful to talk to

Cons

Had to quit due to team leads aggressive attitude towards me. Also favoritism issues. I can tell they didn't like me since day 1. Today they came to me rudely about mistakes I made instead of doing it professionally. I haven't been there for long and I was still learning. I made a lot of improvements which I was really happy about, but was still learning. As much as I liked working there, the team lead was very rude/unprofessional towards me and it was so bad to the point I had to leave. The same team lead followed me outside and said "good" that I was leaving (in front of customers too). I was improving a lot in the position, I want to hear constructive criticism, but not like this. I was hoping to grow with the store and the company but unfortunately its not meant to be. This could've been 100% been prevented if only they would came to me professionally about this and I would be more than happy to fix any mistakes and do better in the future. But if this is how they treat their coworkers I do not wish to be a part of that toxic culture and headspace. Do better.
