Pros

Hourly not salary, easy hours, decent benefits for full time management. Autonomy in merchandising (no planograms) consistency in processes.

Cons

Low pay rate, unorganized HR, no marketing to support business growth, Managers do not get access to financials, which seems odd if you are in charge of the outcome. 3 stars for diversity because their product selection are gender heavy in men's footwear and clothing/gear, rarely highlight female athletes.

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.
