Pros

You learn a lot for future careers, a lot about sports and supply management. Ok pay with room to progress. Is in the middle of union square.

Cons

The pay is ok and you wont get paid much more no matter how hard you try. Once you have the position you lose a sense of motivation.

Pros

Some of the people that work here are awesome and it seems like everyone is getting pressured by their superiors which is kind of a nice thing to have in common, i guess. Discounts are generous.

Cons

My big issue is that some managers are very condescending. The push to sell is so insane yet it really doesn't actually "help" us so please stop saying that. I don't get enough of a base salary for me to speak to every single person that walks my department. BECAREFUL with your belongings..sales associates are not important enough to have their things safely stored. I have had a metrocard stolen out of my wallet and I have heard many similar stories. The infrastructure of the store is very poor..it is dissatisfying to both customers and employees. Get in to have something on your resume but do not stop searching for something bigger and better!

Pros

Great discount and great work environment and many opportunities to advance. You get to work with others that enjoy the same sports and activities that you do.

Cons

It's a busy store that has seasonal traffic. It's a huge speciality store that can be very hectic.
