Pros

As a salaried manager, you are guarranteed a steady paycheck. The health (medical, dental, vision) are better than most retailers, way better. Dick's matches .50 to every $1 you put in your 401(k). They offer tuition reimbursement up to $2000 a year. Fast paced, always changing, and plenty of things to do!

Cons

Salaried managers never, ever work 40 hours a week. Shifts are minimum 10 hours a day, 5 days a week and you're lucky if you only work 50 hours a week but you get paid for 40. Once in a sales manager position, you are on your own to move up the food chain. Little to no professional growth or asistment in career advancement. Degrees mean NOTHING to Dick's- managers with high school degrees make the same amount of money as ones with bachelor's or master's degrees. Little to no training on how to be a manager (if you get promoted from an hourly position)- especially in HR training. Don't plan of being recognized for achievements... And plan on training yourself.

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.
