Wholesale Sports Employer Reviews

Start @ 7 am and finish @ 15:30 hrs with half hr.for lunch.All the ins and outs of ship/rec.and learning something new everyday.Management is awesome and they stand behind there employees,co-workers awesome and it is a fun atmosphere to work in.I think the hardest part of the job is the removal of the skids that the products come on.The enjoyable part – more... is working with co-workers and helping customers have an awesome experience of being looked after when t hey come into the store and leave knowing they were well looked after. – less

Had little training before being asked to work by myself. Also was asked and expected to miss several days of school per week to work extra hours on top of the twenty plus hours per week I already worked don weekends while completing high school. Quit the job after talking with management about changing or shortening hours and deciding that school needed – more... to come first. Also breaks and such were scheduled and were decided based on who got to work earliest. – less

A Typical retail position in the outdoor sporting goods industry. Lots of public interaction and opportunity to become an expert in the product lines. The arrival of new product is always exciting and being given the opportunity to educate the public is a bonus. Because this is part of a chain of stores, the on-hand product is often not based on local – more... requirements but those of the chain as a whole, so it can be frustrating when customers cannot find specifically what they are looking for. Much of the staff is part-time and temporary so there can be a lack of product knowledge and dedication. – less

I was at the customer service counter. I handled all returns, special orders, and acted as a cashier. The place is COMPLETELY unprofessional. Managers do not manage, they rule over their departments as if they own you. Often there will be inappropriate conversation going on (not far from clientele). If you're looking for a place that will work with – more... you on your schedule...look elsewhere. Schedule is NEVER out on time, and they will change it on you in (even on your day off) and you will be penalized if you don't show up.
It's all just a bunch of kids who really don't know what they're doing.
They don't allow overtime, and don't give pay raises.
not a great place to work. – less

its been a great time i have lots of fun and learned more about myself and the world i live in here than i probably ever did in school. I am sad to see the company go away now.

Working was good. I enjoyed helping customers in there hunting, reloading and firearm needs.

Enjoyable place to work, very good surroundings and caring co-workers. My typical day was ringing customers out, Issuing fishing and hunting licenses, and stocking shelves. Overall good place to work, besides the minimum wage pay.

Much of the things I have learned I taught myself with this job. I have had to ask questions to get to know the answers to some of the things I should of been trained for. There is not a lot of communication unless I speak up. I am learning as we go though.

Most days are the same as a Front End Lead; deal with a few customer complaints, cashier and get the chance to interact with the long list of regular customers. This job taught me how to be a better leader and has polished my customer service skills. The management is overall very friendly and attentive to the needs of their departments. The hardest – more... part of the job is time management. There are many things that I need to get done but first and for most are my duties as a customer service cashier. The most enjoyable are the repeat customers, laid back atmosphere and being surrounded by fellow outdoor enthusiasts. – less

where else can you talk about fishing all day and get paid for it,just not enough hours or advancement.

Typical day is pretty enjoyable, lots of interesting customers to talk to and the like, but the most difficult part of the job is the lack of breaks and trying to keep from going insane with boredom when it's slow
