Pros

Academy Sports and Outdoors was very close to my house so the commute was very short and I did not encounter very much traffic. Co-workers on the same corporate hierarchy scale are easy to get along with, the majority of them still in school.

Cons

There were several cons to academy sports. First off they will not listen to you if you ask to work a certain number of hours per week. They also do not care if you are in school, they show no empathy.

Pros

The easiest thing about job is the work itself.

Cons

The upper management is horrible on every level. They don’t care enough to even give job interviews, so you don’t know what to expect on your first day. Expect someone to not train you, but aggressively micromanage you and let you know what you do is wrong but not show how to do anything correctly. I’ve never seen a retail place operate so “by the books” but will make up rules on the spot when it’s most convenient for them. There is a severe lack of communication and care all around, partly from a lot of the managers being on different parts of the spectrum. The senior employees will also take out their home life problems out on you bc they’re jealous you got more credit card applications than them. Don’t work here unless you enjoy high school petty drama from ladies that have worked 30+ years in retail.
