Pros of working at Dunham's Sports

You feel smarter than you ever have in your life. Especially if you are in the room with the regional manager all the way down to the g.m. I heard of the "Peter principal" in college and thought no way. This company must follow that principal as a core value.

Cons of working at Dunham's Sports

You are always the smartest person in the room. Corp will have you do the same task over and over due to there incompetence all while telling you the importance of time management

Dunham's Sports Benefits

I wish there was. No holiday pay. 1 raise a year and it will not even come close to the standard 3%

What do you like best about Dunham's Sports's CEO and the leadership team?

Cant think of anything.

How would you improve Dunham's Sports's culture?

Practice what you preach. Stop with the negative reinforcement. It is proven this method does not work. While you may see a slight up tick in production of a person, the long term creates a higher level of turn over especially with the low to mid level managers. Which hurts your r.o.i. We have modern problems with old or no solutions.

How did you prepare for the Dunham's Sports interview?

I didnt. The district manager interviewed me. Seen my resume,barely any follow up questions and hired me on the spot. To be fair I could tell he was very nervous.

How does your compensation at Dunham's Sports compare to the industry average?

The company is roughly 15 to 30 % below the national bench mark depending on what position you apply for.

What brings you the most joy at Dunham's Sports?

Pros of working at Dunham's Sports

Easy job, usually decent at store level GMs. Decently healthy chances of career advancement.

Cons of working at Dunham's Sports

Poor pay. They've asked us to hire people at minimum wage, while competition easily pays 12+ for a basic position. Regional and district managers dont seem to have a clue. Corporate chooses to neglect their employees with the worst healthcare plan I've ever had l added with a poor 401k. Taking advantage of letting you work full time hours while still calling you part time.

Dunham's Sports Benefits

Flexable schedules.

Cons of working at Dunham's Sports

At Dunhams you work in a dirty ,dusty, outdated store with dial-up registers. And the corporate office is run by cheapskate morons with the most moronic policy’s. And worst of all is they make employees wear pants year round no matter the weather

Pros of working at Dunham's Sports

It will be the easiest job to get due to how understaffed all locations are.

Pros of working at Dunham's Sports

The lack of micro-managing is often welcome, especially when I need to sit down for a minute after a long line of customers. Whenever we don't get breaks for eight-hour shifts due to inventory or Black Friday, we get smaller breaks with pizza ordered by the managers. Typically friendly environment.

Cons of working at Dunham's Sports

The inconsistency across the team of managers who work here, both in how they treat customers and how they treat their employees; the lack of training combined with the expectation to be able to answer customers' questions; and the sheer difficulty in knowing what we have in stock, both in ours and other stores, and what we will have in stock.

Dunham's Sports Benefits

Hour-long breaks for 8+ hour shifts.
