Pros
Floor staff are great! There is camaraderie amongst staff. Benefits are decent (PTO, sick time, medical, discount, climbing gym memberships). Some opportunities for growth. Access to gear and knowledge about outdoor industry.
Cons
Toxic workplace culture. Everyone is overworked or doing more than one person should be doing. Inadequate diversity and equity training. Owner has a history of punishing and firing specifically women (but not exclusively) who critique and/or hold the company accountable for discriminatory practices. Workplace discrimination regarding hiring, promotions, and department placement (ex. having women work the registers who were hired to work in other departments like snowboards or skis but not having the same expectations of men) Minimal pay increases over time
