Dick's Sporting Goods Employer Reviews

I always built and sell bikes to customers. I also, sell fitness equipments such as treadmill, elliptical, recumbent bikes, and many more. Whenever, there is down time, I need to reorganize every shelves and label price tags on the items.
Moreover, I get along with all my co-workers, they are fun to talk to. My co-workers work hard as well. They make – more... sure they get their job done.
The most enjoyable part of the job is making my customers satisfy. Customers are always number one in my store. I need to help every single customers as much as possible. – less

This job involved me trying to sell shoes and meet any needs the customers had.

No day is the same at Dicks. There are always new complicated customers on the phone as well as in person. Management expects alot out of the workers but refuses to pay them accordingly, or give them chances to excel. I have had a lot or coworkers that I got along with, but the turnover rate is incredible.

I love working at Dick's Sporting Goods, wouldn't want any other part-time job.

A typical work day starts by visually scanning shoes to make sure the right shoes were in the right boxes. If there was an error found we had to fix it. Most days there were serval tasks that had to be completed in the stock room away from the customers eye so we would have to balance our time to make sure we can complete the tasks while also servicing – more... our customers. I learned how to manage my time a little better and also i learned a lot about how shoes can affect a person's whole body. Management changed from time to time. For the most part the management was laid back and trusted people to do their job, when they had to empahsis certain things or even correct the employees they were stern but fair which I really respected. The hardest part of the job was maybe the simplicity of parts of my job, for instance after making sure all the shows were in the proper boxs we had to count all the boxs in the section we covered and in one section there were hundreds of boxs, while it sounds and is easy I at times got distracted by customers and management and lost track of the count and had to begin again. The most enjoyable part of this job has to be the poeple I came in contact with, not only the people i work with but also the customers made my job enjoyable. – less

I thoroughly enjoyed my job, but the management was rather inexperienced at communication and business relationships.

hardest thing about the job is closing at night. co workers are cool will always help you with any problem if not busy. best part about the day is leaving at the end of my shift

During my time at Dicks Sporting Goods I was a full time cashier with a average of 38 hours a week. My typical day was spent providing customers with excellent customer service by checking them out and helping them find specific items in the store as requested.

Restocked floors, maintain a clean environment, minimize back stops

Provided great customer service for multiple walk-in customers on each shift.

A typical work day consists of getting new merchandise out and merchandising it per game plan.

The most enjoyable part of my job is putting out new merchandise and setting game plans.

Co-workers are very nice and always willing to help each other out if need be.

Bad Management (manners,tone,work effort)
cant control budget of store
forget employees availabilities

I loved working here. I loved being able to help customers with their needs and my associates.

I loved my job, I learned more about football then I though anyone could. I also learned about sports I had no clue existed...

Specific managers have their "little click" and if you're not in it you get treated like nothing!. The store is poorly ran depending on the manager working at that moment! Too many of the associates and managers behavior towards each other are unmoral, unforgiving, and inappropriate!It's a bunch of mess!!!! It's all SMOKE AND MIRRORS!!!! Please don't – more... apply unless this is your last result as a job! – less

At Dick's Sporting Goods, the sales floor is where the "action" happens. My job was the sales floor position in the team sports section which included sports such as, football, baseball, hockey, tennis, basketball, soccer, and just about any other team sport you can think of. My priority was to sell the equipment in this area of the store and also guide – more... customers to the area they might be looking for. Whenever I closed the store, we would take inventory of the expensive items (usually contains the ink/alarm pin) to see how many we sold that day and make sure we weren't missing any. Opening the store, I would check the inventory from the previous night just to double check their records. Management was always helpful with any troubles I may come across such as a disrespectful customer or helping me find or locate and item the customer was asking for. My co-workers were all very friendly, helpful people. The hardest part of the job was trying to persuade a customer to buy a piece of equipment. That being said, the most enjoyable part of the job is when I was able to sell an expensive item. – less

When I worked at Dick's I loved it. I personally had an issue with one of my managers but who doesn't have an unfriendly run in with their boss every now and then? Overall they pay you well but considering the size of most of their stores they should pay you more for the work you do.

i worked at sports authority prior to dicks sporting goods as a certified footwear authority. the management team from dicks promised me a better paying position, advancement, and hours. within 2 weeks of working they promised me fulltime if i worked hardand showed them i knew what i was doing,which i did. the first month befroe the grand opening of – more... the west nyack dicks sporting goods i averaged about 50+ hours a week with overtime just helping setting the store up, coming in on days off just to help out. after the grand opening my hours went below 30 and suddenly i noticed that others who in my eyes were slacking, were getting more hours. it clearly showed that they demonstrated favoritism in that store because i was more qualified to become the footwear lead. at sports authority i had to take certifications for about 2 weeks before i was promoted, whereas dicks on the other hand they just randomly chose who they felt should take the promotion. the truth of the matter was, the person they promoted ended up asking me how to do his own job since he didnt really know anything about shoes. alot of other co workers who previously worked there will tell you the same thing, it wasnt my customer service abilities, because i am confident that i have that, they chose seniority over actual qualifications for the position. not only that, i was also terminated because i apparently missed too many days, but the truth was teh days that i missed i had either requested off more than 2 weeks in advance, which the manager knew about it, or they would randomly revise the schedule without notifying any co workers. – less

The hours were wonderful, the managers were awesome, the staff was great as well, everything about this store is awesome!

Make this a part time job only. They turnover rate with employees is remarkable, you will see people quitting weekly. The don't train you well and expect you to learn the products and services on the fly. Even the managers don't like working there. The store has a reputation for not being knowledgeable of their products and providing poor service.

Unethical management who has since been fired for gross misconduct.
