Pros

Chill job with low stress if you don’t allow it. Not the worst hours compared to other retail jobs.

Cons

Bought out by JD Sports and it is headed downhill since. Lots of open promises about moving up in the company but it is a who you know situation. The pay is the worst in the industry. From the DMs up, they think this is the most important job in the planet. Ride your butt about upselling as if we get commission and don’t have a bunch of 20 year olds just trying to work through college.

Pros

401k/ benefits, discount, OT hours

Cons

I worked for the company for over 8 years and recently parted ways October 2025. I put so much time and energy into my store and was dedicated to any challenge as well as doing additional things for the district, With that being said, I hadn't gotten a bonus the entire year due to a negative comp gain, as well as the company changing the bonus tier yet again, to make it harder to reach goal. I tried to get a better selection of inventory to help - no luck. So I ended up speaking with my DM and tried to get a raise and was quickly denied. After that, I decided to part ways and put in my 2 week notice. Fast forward to 3 weeks after my resignation, a new store manager got hired making well over what I was getting paid (after 8 years of my time). My attendance was almost perfect, never late and a great team player. My store consistently got ignored - from broken walls, missing/broken racks, no CC TV for our safety (even after attempted robbery) , and the list goes on. - Now, less than 6 months later, that manager is already gone...
