Vantaggi
Great building with great facilities, but they lie to you during the interview telling you that you will have time to use them since you work long hours. If you use them, it is basically seen as you are not working on your tasks. Pays well, but not enough to compensate for hours worked.
Svantaggi
No work life balance, low morale, unreasonable standards and expectations, if you are 99% right at something, it just means that you are 1% wrong. No loyalty, work 70 hour weeks, nights and weekends and they still layoff at all levels from analyst to Sr VP. Cut throat, can't trust anyone, pop quiz environment. Only looking for 'yes-men'. Mgmt asks for change, but talks out of both sides of mouth because they give excuses (not reasons) why things can't change. Incompetent management (especially in Finance) at all levels and no appreciation or understanding of processes; systems are awful (several systems all give different answers for the same data, nothing integrated). Stay out of retail. Retail Industry is dying, DKS price points are too high and stores are too expensive to operate. Business model not sustainable for long-run. Even with corporate employee discount, most items are cheaper elsewhere (Amazon, Cabella's, other competitors) and people are figuring it out (check last 6-10 quarters of financial results, including sales and margins). Knee jerk reactions (if sales up, let's hire; if sales down, let's layoff). NO JOB SECURITY. Layoffs to meet analyst expectations on earnings and to achieve bonus payouts. No autonomy at mid-level management positions. No career growth plans provided. Finance Management (especially executive management) does not ask for input and assumes they can make all personnel decisions without asking what the employee wants.
