Sports Authority Employee Review

Former Employee – worked at Sports Authority part-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Sports atmosphere
Fun co-workers
Customers are typically friendly and enjoyable to help

Cons – More concerned with profits than value
No loyalty to workers
Forced to sell useless warranty plans
Problems are deflected onto lower workers rather than creating plausible solutions

Advice to Senior Management – Build a business focused on the company mission and values, rather than driving for more profit. Customers have the most contact with associates, if the associates are miserable because management is threatening them for "poor" sales the customer will see this and be less motivated to return.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
