Pros

Working at Sport Chalet is fun and exciting. You are surrounded by fun and exciting people, and given fun and exciting jobs. Other pluses include what are known as "pro deals", pro deals essentially buying products directly from the manufacturer, for drastically reduced price, for example, I bought roughly $1000 worth of snowboard equipment for about $500. Other benefits include free or heavily discounted lift tickets to local ski resorts. They also give you regular reviews which allows you to exhibit your success and hard work, which leads to regular compensation raises and promotions.

Cons

As with any seasonal retail company there is a lot of slow work days and downtime due to lack of business in the off season.

Advice to Senior Management

Sales were much easier when I knew the product very well. However, there were minimal product clinics etc.
