      Pros

      If you like sporting goods, you are surrounded by them. Not much other than that.

      Cons

      Long hours, poor pay, not loyal, high turnover. Very low pay especially when you are paying for your own benefits. Store Managers don't even make over 45000 a year. Managers are extremely micro managed, absolutely no say in anything.

      Pros

      Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

      Cons

      Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
