Pros

*Not particularly difficult * Access to solid and other unique discounts * Having active coworkers to chat golf with

Cons

* Often expected to go beyond your regular expectations * If working a closing shift you can go home 10 minutes after the store closes or TWO HOURS LATER, and you NEVER know ahead of time * Pay is never good enough as a sustainable full time job and limited upward mobility * Severe lack of training from the company or Management on your expected club services and club fittings * Have to deal with a ton of micromanagement, most is totally unnecessary * Managers often contradict one another * Often expected to work nights and weekends * My lunch breaks often got interrupted WHILE being off the clock

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
