No Work - Life Balance - IT Professional DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

No work - life balance. If you work in corporate IT, expect to be called at any time of day or night. So, even though the salary is nice, it doesn't work out to a great hourly rate. During the Holidays (November - December), expect not to have actual days off (or weekends), especially if something goes wrong in Production, which happens often due to inadequate testing (caused by oftentimes insane deadlines). Management seems to reward hard work and learning by calling you more off-hours. The management style can be summed up like this: "I don't care what it takes, just do it, because the CEO said so."
