Very negative. There is a lot of favoritism and egos that are at work. Academy Sports and Outdoors seems to put more value in making more money for the company than having human compassion and family time.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Certain coworkers specifically regular salesfloor associates.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
To lead, guide, and help better. Instead of favoritism, putting down, and talking down to their associates, specifically speaking about certain managers and certain leads.
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
There needs to be better teamwork, leadership and guidance. Managers need more of taking into consideration what seniority workers know and feel and less favoritism.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Managers need to actually hire people who have worked in retail before or hire more responsible and team working associates. Managers seem to hire the first people who apply instead of filtering out people who have compassion and geniality.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
There needs to be better communication. When there is communication from Associates to managers they fail to help out or take action. Academy Sports and Outdoors is not a comfortable working environment and is stressful just knowing having to work here. Needs to be less favoritism and more guidance.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
I've been working there for 12 years for that to not even matter. You would think working at Academy Sports and Outdoors for that long would, but a manager who just started with the company comes in, start doing things his way and doesn't take into consideration what seniority workers know or feel.
