Pros

discounts on already discounted sporting goods, shoes and camping gear steady pay

Cons

they expect a full container of merch to sorted, priced by hand , and stocked by 2 ppl in less than 8hours. they have no safety equipment, need a weight belt for lifting buy it yourself. time off is non existant esp during the holidays expect to work 6-7 days a week for a month or more

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.
