Pros

I always enjoy coming to work and seeing my coworkers. We always get along and get work done as a team.

Cons

I understand the dress code enforcement, but it seems a bit much for a sporting goods store. For example, I arrive to work clean and well dressed in my shirt and slacks, and within 10 mins I'm covered with dust and sweaty from lifting an 130 pound box into a customers car by myself. How do you expect me to squat and lift in dress pants and dress shoes? Corporate office has never worked a hard day in their lives and don't understand the physical labor involved in a sporting goods store.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
