Pros

There were only a few things about working at paragon sports . The discount, your fellow co workers, and the people . Meeting people from all parts of the world was the best .

Cons

Some downsides of paragon are they're management . There's no real sense of management, it's as if the head cashiers are telling cashiers what to do be cause they're afraid of losing their jobs . They treat the cashiers as I theyre so disposable and paragon treats their employees as if they're theives . No trust between managers and workers . There's just a handful of things wrong with the operations of paragon.

Pros

There's a flexibility to the scheduling. being privately owned makes for less red tape. freedom for independent thinking and outside of box mentalities are encouraged. competitive compensation and benefits, pleasant staff, convenient work hours.

Cons

No corporate structure eliminates some safety nets in performance and disciplinary action. Wage freeze for 2009. A lack of praise for accomplishments, and on admonishments and reprimands for poor performance. A lack of distinction for top performers - and NO mentoring program to inspire growth or development. No outside manager training offered, and no tuition assistance.
