Pros

Salaries and bonuses are good for retail. The products are awesome and the sports culture is deeply rooted in the company. There are a lot of excellent managers from different backgrounds. They encourage talent promotion at a very early stage.

Cons

A tendency to encourage clocking hours for management, who can transform into very helpful workforce (it's a manager's responsibility to get the work done if members of the team are absent). A lot of managers are getting promoted with their only talent being their ability to big mouth on people. Finally, they hire only people with a passion for sport, but once you're in a management position, you don't have a free minute to practice your sport.
