Pros

Works around employees schedules. Fairly easy work environment. Having a manager that makes working retail is a huge plus, but it does not always happen that way.

Cons

Pay is terrible, WalMart and McDonalds employees make more and don't have to dress up in business casual to sell entry level sporting goods. Doing labor work in business casual, not the most fun. Very very monotonous. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Pros

Most employees were really fun to work with, life/work balance was great, taught me good life skills, good first job for work experience.

Cons

Barely got scheduled (pretty sure my location was way over employed), occasional rude and entitled costumers (especially during the holidays), could get very slow and boring at times, sketchy area, overal, not a great job if you're looking for something that pays well.
