Academy Sports & Outdoors Interviews Employee Reviews
What did you like most about the interview process?
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.
The Managers when I first was hired on, they actually seemed to care and at that time were working managers.
It was fast and extremely easy.
It was very informal which made me relax.
Review from Customer Support Dept

Very friendly interviewers and layer back
Review from Sales Dept
The interview was professional and friendly
The manager that interviewed me was awesome but then he went to a different department and that's when all the trouble started
Getting the job i went in there for
The in-person portion More and more companies are implementing video interviews, which are not only highly impersonal, but almost hostile toward those who may not be fortunate for a phone with a good camera or even a web cam.
the manager that interviewed me was getting to know me as best as he could
Personal interaction with coworkers and customers
Review from Customer Success Dept
At the time they acted like they cared
The hiring manager asked effective questions
Meeting my coworkers and seeing a potentially good job. However they sell a great work experience to get you to accept the position, but in reality it isn't a good company to work for.
Review from Sales Dept
it was quicker than my other jobs ive had
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
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.
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.
