Pros

Decent pay,some employees nice,good vibes... religious accomodations...

Cons

Trash management,bare minimum full time hours(30 hours),not enough employees to maintain departments,some departments don't have any employees on the floor,the gun counter is always covered but the floor is not...managers think they know everything but don't....freight should be 100% done before store opens... management is always screwing around in managers office,playing and laughing whiles associates need help on the floor...then when associates ask/interrupt their playing around they get pissed off....the vision insurance needs to be better...it should cover not just the frames,but also anti glare,coatings,and any other extras that the associate needs...the dental plan is decent...but there is no dental and vision insurance for part timers...I don't care for diversity or inclusion..hire the best qualified for the job,and not hire based on skin color or gender or nationality......stop recognizing blk history and pride month... academy sports is a place of business,not a place to demand they outwardly recognize your personal beliefs....

Pros

The easiest thing about job is the work itself.

Cons

The upper management is horrible on every level. They don’t care enough to even give job interviews, so you don’t know what to expect on your first day. Expect someone to not train you, but aggressively micromanage you and let you know what you do is wrong but not show how to do anything correctly. I’ve never seen a retail place operate so “by the books” but will make up rules on the spot when it’s most convenient for them. There is a severe lack of communication and care all around, partly from a lot of the managers being on different parts of the spectrum. The senior employees will also take out their home life problems out on you bc they’re jealous you got more credit card applications than them. Don’t work here unless you enjoy high school petty drama from ladies that have worked 30+ years in retail.
