Golfsmith Employer Reviews

A typical day at work I help costumers find anything they might need.

I like the people here and the work load is not demanding. Management seems to favor one person over another and it takes a while before you qualify for full time. Very lay back atmosphere and they don't micromanage. If you want to get any experience in business and retail, this is the place for you.

New Building and Horrible Management. No one knows whats really going on and when they do find out it takes them like a month to fix it and by then something else has a problem.

A multi-tasking environment with seasonal business. If you enjoy golf, this is an obivous great place to come and work everyday.

As a part of Golfsmith, I am one of the key players in developing intranet applications for different groups in the firm

I worked for 2 years as a operations manager, then was promoted to Sales Manager after 6 months. The company is based out of Austin, Texas. Not sure if this is why they were able to make managers work over 60-70 per week without a break, but they did. Also rarely could take a real lunch break.

The training is laughable. It takes place in Austin with – more... an ex Male Cheerleader, yes male. He will show you the movie "FISH", that basically shows people at Fisherman Warf in Seattle love there jobs despite very low pay. It is much like a brainwashing session than anything. Most managers there will tell you stories of being the only one to open and close a store weeks on end without help or extra pay as managers are salaried employees. They will dangle a $500 bonus at you, then say we change the guidelines and will not give it out.

Basically this is a greedy corporation that is trying to be biggest Golf chain in the US. But they are not because of their corporate greed and better managed competition. – less

There is nothing I could not say that would be positive about this job. I got to work in sales with people that were interested in the sport of Golf. I loved selling golf equipment and the management was great, opportunities are endless with commissions and just an overall amazing job to have.

My time at golfsmith had its good and bad moments . i learned valuable experience working as a cashier . I was trained to use p.o.s , manually use credit cards , take checks etc.... as far as the retail aspect i was trained pretty well . The amount of hours was lacking and were also distributed unfairly . Rarely did i ever hear i was doing a good job – more... and most of the employees felt the same . All and all it was not a bad job for the experience. – less

Its a great work place people are outgoing but some tend to have attitudes. The money could be better but I guess depending on the department. There should be more pay for store order fillers. Managments isnt the greatest you'll soon find out anyone can be a manager. There are some resonable ones there.

Slow moving, bad culture, bad senior management, high turnover
