Academy Sports & Outdoors Employee Reviews

Very good place to work

Good coworkers and most customers. But. Horrible pay compared to many retailers. Raises are minimal each year

Everything has been great until recently. I am a gun bar employee who was recently harassed and threatened by a customer. Video surveillance will show my personal space was violated. And that I conducted my self in a professional manner.

Review from Sales Dept

My job is awesome!! I love it!!

Its great!! Ive been here for a year.

In store management is awesome. Upper management doesn't care about store level employees

They will go out and help on tje floor

Every exciting and they work with us.

Approachable and down to earth.

Quick responce fair honest good to employees

Communication , leadership , time management

They need to actully care svout people cuz they dont

Change in management and more resources for new hires.

They need to know how to do the jobs of their employees. Hire better staff and please leads that have much more experience especially in management and customer service. Lead by example. Not make it a click where they get away with doing bare minimum.

Review from Operations Dept

NEW MANAGEMENT ALL AROUND HORRIBLE STAFF

stock and 401k they match up to 6% on 401k contributions

It is what it is

401K and the PTO pay

Employee stock options and retirement

The Bonus opportunities were great

Lack of of knowing who is full time causing schedule foul ups would help

Review from Customer Success Dept

I think more pay for this job would be better.

For being in a lead position I should be paid more than the people I responsible for.

Review from Operations Dept

Higher pay. Too much responsability for only 16 an hour. I have a second job with less responsability making 23 an hour.

Review from Sales Dept

Payment is absolutely pathetic for the amount of ridiculous hoops that we have to jump through in order to do our daily duties. In the end, Academy is going to put the bottom line first and the customer and employee last. It's a directionless company that's doomed to failure.

we have great teamwork to get things done

The team work with coworkers

The team is glad when you show up to work

Extraordinary, dedicated, talented, creative worked hard, smart - some of the best in tge industry.

They are loyal and trustworthy

Its not the co workers its management

Push credit. Engage customers. Show up on time. And do what they're asked of.

Review from Sales Dept

Better training, updated registers, better management training

Less bad attitude towards co workers

Review from Operations Dept

Take their jobs more seriously. Learn what their job responsibilities are and execute them lead by example. Include everybody be more personable. Don't act like a click and better than.

Review from Operations Dept

I'm around things in genuinely love and enjoy. & Customers I relate to.

Review from Sales Dept

I liked my hours and what I do but

Inclusive and Engaging. The HR department is headed up by one of the best. He and his team work really hard to make sure all teams and all individuals are working together to drive the best results.

My co-workers care about me

Overall, a great team spirit.

Literally just more resources would fix it.

Management and team leads needs to understand that people may be in school, have another job, or something in life may pop up. Their attitude towards when people need to take off or some thing and he may be doing a holiday, or a busy weekend.

Review from Sales Dept

Stop berating employees for problems that they cannot fix and completely dump the OSATs, as if we're able to fix them by pestering customers to do more of them when their dissatisfaction is entirely on things on the corporate end.

The managers, people that work the hardest should be the managers, not lazy people.

The annual review process needs to change. Not only are goals not always clearly defined, but they are often not shared with the eployees until well into the fiscal year.

Review from Operations Dept

That I was told I would be full time

I was asked where I'm most comfortable in the store.

Review from Sales Dept

The manager was very open about everything at the time.

Very clear communication of next steps from start to finish

Barely had to talk about anything important.

let the person know more about the company

Maybe listen more. Not put down other positions and why they were given that role. Offer adequate pay for adequate expectations of the work roll.

Review from Operations Dept

During the interview, they need to be upfront about policies, pay, hours, in the availability for a part-time or full-time.

Review from Sales Dept

The store manager should be aware of the quality of new hires. Know which department managers that are horrible at hiring good workers.

Poor no commication and not welcoming.

The outdoor section is fantastic. I use the entire outdoor section. Speaking with customers I genuinely connect with.

Review from Sales Dept

Its simply a great company - you work hard, learn a lot, enjoy the team, respect the leadership and love the customers!

Scoring high on our audits and meeting company goals.

Paid time off. Employee discount.

Review from Operations Dept

Knowing that at the end of the day, I have done my best and have been a good servant to my fellow employees and customers.

We all just look like chickens with out heads cut off running around.

Lack of Communication between management and above to associates, if management and higher were to listen better and actually game plan better there would be less mess ups and more getting done. Also, Favoritism needs to stop, store managers & Directors make it very apparent who are their pets

Again just disrespect of employees and favoritism all around

Give your management team more education as far as how to treat people

whats going wrong is that my co workers are getting paid a whole dollar or two more than me and they have been here for a shorter amount of time
