Pros

The good news: it easy to get a job there. Not too much background in management needed, just lots of sports knowledge will do.

Cons

The bad news: you just might get the job. When you do, be prepared to be thrown into an environment where you're mostly a stocking grunt. No reason to plan or set goals for the actual running of the store. Just set up the registers, stock the truck and help customers along the way.
