      I have been working at DICK'S Sporting Goods part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Hours are very flexible
      Managers are approachable and easy to talk to, always willing to answer any question
      Easy to get time off when needed, even at the last minute (like for a last minute doctor's appointment)
      Relaxed environment
      Not overly demanding when it comes to pushing the rewards card (just a simple mention of it is plenty)

      Cons

      A bit more training could help
      A new walkie system could definitely help
      Computers can be very slow at times, which doesn't help when helping customers with online orders

      Advice to Management

      Invest in more training, new walkies, and new computers. All three would go a long way.

      I have been working at DICK'S Sporting Goods part-time (More than a year)

      Pros

      Easy to request days off
      Flexible scheduling
      Fun if you enjoy talking to people
      Can rack up the hours if wanted
      Good management (in my case)
      If you drink at least a little bit of the kool-aid, you'll have a good time here
      Ability to advance if you're ambitious
      Associate discount on most items

      Cons

      Very little incentive to perform well
      Your experience will vary widely based upon the shift managers you have
      Lower than average pay
      Often need to pick up the slack of other associates
      Embarrassingly slow computers make it hard to quickly help customers
      Could use better technical training (not just 1-2 minute videos)
      My feet hurt after my shift most days

      Advice to Management

      Computer systems need to be upgraded for speed, badly
      Stop holding onto employees that bring bad vibes
      Need more ways to boost employee morale
