Not a bad place to work... - Lodge Associate DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

Well, it's retail. What can you say? At least you don't have to be ashamed working there because most of the stores are kept in pretty good condition and they don't hire a lot of idiots. Things are laid-out pretty good for you so you don't feel "what the heck am I supposed to be doing?" very often. Store management will pitch-in and get their "hands dirty" to get stuff done.

Cons

Almost zero feedback from management. I had my annual performance review and was told a bunch of stuff that I did wrong almost a YEAR ago. Why didn't they tell me earlier? Another big issue is that the Team Leads (aka department managers) have no scheduled overlap with their employees. It's kind of hard to get things on the right track when your time with your supervisor is limited to a few seconds when you meet at the time clock on your way in or out. Scheduling is another issue because they only publish next week's schedule a few days before the beginning of the week. But they require you to request time off three weeks in advance. Medical and health insurance benefits for part-timers is pretty basic and not worth much.

Pros

- Unlimited PTO with 401k match is awesome

Cons

- Performance expectations were often unclear or inconsistently communicated, Feedback was reactive instead of timely and actionable. - Leadership quality varied dramatically by manager, with limited coaching or mentorship. - Constant shifting priorities without adjusting expectations or workload. - Psychological safety was lacking, Honest communication feel risky. - Leadership messaging around culture didn't match day-to-day reality. - Process was often valued more than impact or results. - Compensation well below market, w/little flexibility during negotiations. - I felt excluded from key conversations and opportunities that were important to my success.
