No Work - Life Balance - IT Professional DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Good, competitive salary. Excellent bonus. Nice gym.

Cons

No work - life balance. If you work in corporate IT, expect to be called at any time of day or night. So, even though the salary is nice, it doesn't work out to a great hourly rate. During the Holidays (November - December), expect not to have actual days off (or weekends), especially if something goes wrong in Production, which happens often due to inadequate testing (caused by oftentimes insane deadlines). Management seems to reward hard work and learning by calling you more off-hours. The management style can be summed up like this: "I don't care what it takes, just do it, because the CEO said so."

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.
