Dick's was not a good experience for me - Sales Associate DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

Pros

I enjoyed meeting new people including some nice customers. The location was very good considering it took me 10 minutes to drive there from my house.

Cons

I don't know if every retail company does this but they would search through my bags etc as I would leave at night which I wasn't to thrilled about. Another negative, would be they force you to sell their credit cards and get people to sign up for the score card. If you are unsuccessful in that then prepare to have your hours drastically cut down. The managers were not all that great (except for like 2) who were very nice. Some customers look down on you because you are a cashier. Please excuse me for not coming from a snobby rich family and having to pay my own way for school. That's about all I can think of because I truly hated working there.

Pros

Employee Discount Opportunity to provide customers an experience in which they can be confident in buying a new shoe for style, function and support-related reasons. Great selling tools, devices and display fixtures to work with

Cons

This is not really a con since I believe it is an important part of the job. Newer and current workers may need to keep up up to date and do research on products in order to be able to help customers effectively and efficiently.
