Your Store Journey Starts Here

Our Stores Team Members are the heart of the customer experience. Every day, you bring a friendly attitude, help customers find the gear that fuels their next adventure, share your passion for sports and the outdoors, and keep the store looking sharp and ready for customers. The environment is active, fast paced, and high-energy, which is exactly what makes it fun.

Whether you're guiding someone to the perfect product or learning new skills behind the scenes, you play a key role in helping more people enjoy more sports and outdoors.

What You Will Work On

In this role, you will help customers enjoy more sports and outdoor activities by making their store visits during their busiest season easier, friendlier, and more productive. You may support customers in sales, cashier, merchandising, and receiving work, giving you a broad view of how the store operates. Your efforts influence service, sales, store readiness, and the overall customer experience.

You move where the store and its customers need support most, whether that means helping someone find the right product, completing checkout transactions, preparing merchandise for the sales floor, or keeping pricing and signage accurate. Throughout each shift, the work requires attention to detail, product knowledge, and a willingness to learn new processes. By keeping merchandise organized and store areas ready, you help the team serve customers quickly during a high-volume season.
