Poorly Managed Apparel Development Department - Technical Designer DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Many knowledgeable and friendly co-workers. The salary and benefits package are generous. The corporate HQ, cafeteria and on-site gym are great. If you live in a nearby town, the commute is quick.

Cons

If, on the other hand, you live in more desirable Pittsburgh, the commute can be long and slow. Traffic is real! Also, the highway is not plowed quickly or well, so imminent snow predictions have people running for the exits. The apparel development team is poorly managed by executives with little experience designing/producing clothing or developing brands. If you are entrepreneurial, it may be a difficult company to work for. It's very corporate and the expectation is that you will "stay in your lane." Tools needed to perform the job are not supplied. On Boarding looks good on paper; in reality, it is bare bones. It was, overall, a disappointment.

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.
