      Pros

      Great co-workers small work space compared to bigger sporting goods stores. Decent employee discount and OK benefits if you can survive that long.

      Cons

      Limited advancement opportunities. Managers breathing down your neck. For the most part your just a full time overpaid associate even then the pays relatively low for the amount of work your required to do. Your expected to do any task as if your life depended on it. Prepare to not have a life if you decide to work here full time.

      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.
