Dick's Sporting Goods Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"It's a job that anyone can do. It's fairly easy and really hard to get fired from as long as you do your work."

"I love what I do. I have a great relationship with everyone I have encountered. This is not the type of position I would like to do for the rest of my life."

"I have worked for Dicks Sporting Goods for 3 years."

"Great place for students to work with flexible hours. However they refuse to allow anyone to work full time 40 hours. This is enforce obsessively to the point that employees coming close to the 40 hour cap will be forced to go home early."

"Do not believe a word management says because it is only to placate you at the time of your distress. They will promise you a full time position then hire someone from outside after basically baiting you to do the full time person's work until they hire the new person. Do not ever ask questions about why you were passed over because they will force you to quit because they are too gutless to actually fire you. You are just a pawn unless you make Dicks your entire life!!!"

"I have seen better managed places, Wal-Mart included. Don't offer full time, or perks to part timers, discount isn't that good. Pay is typical of retail and the raises are as inadequate as expected. Too numbers based instead of an actual concern for customer service, employees, etc. Promotions are mostly not there. Saw more ex big box managers than ones promoted from within. Just a poorly run company."

"Managers change like a person changes clothes. None of them seem to care about concerns or questions you may have. The training was not adequate, and everyone was rude. The hours are horrible. A $40 paycheck for two weeks worth of work is insane! This company doesn't seem to care about its employees concerns or how they treat them."

"Get in and learn what you can but get out before you forget what your kids look like."
