Empowering Teammates

Developing Our Team

From the DICK’S Sporting Goods Customer Support Center (CSC) headquarters to our five distribution centers (DCs) and across more than 850 retail locations, we are one unified team. By inspiring, empowering and lifting each other up, we make great things happen.

Our teammates embrace DICK’S Sporting Goods’ vision to become the best sports company in the world. Their achievements drive our success, and through our words and actions, we create an environment where passionate, diverse and skilled teammates thrive.

A fair and equitable playing field is just the first step toward achieving great results. We are committed to equal pay for equal work independent of gender and race, when establishing and maintaining wages.

Whether we are building confidence through awards and recognition or helping our teammates step up their game with training and education, DICK’S elevates our teammates’ while meeting our business objectives.

These principles are reflected in our benefits, compensation, training programs, scheduling options, tuition reimbursement program and volunteerism – and in our teammate engagement scores. We strive to continuously improve so that our teammates feel supported and safe while they contribute to our goals and achieve their own.

Advancing Inclusion & Diversity

Our teammates are the heart and soul of DICK’S. Our company’s primary operations stretch across the United States – with 40,000 teammates from Portland, Maine, to Portland, Oregon. From our stores to our distribution centers to our corporate office, we are one team that shares common goals and values.

We also know that our business does not operate in a vacuum. The events of 2020 have accelerated a national conversation about racism, giving a long overdue voice to underheard and underserved people in our communities.

We are committed to taking an active role in this conversation and to making changes in our company to address racism and inequality. These efforts will add to the work we’ve already done to build an inclusive workplace, where each and every one of our teammates is empowered to contribute and share their individuality.

In 2019, we created the DICK’S Sporting Goods Inclusion & Diversity Council — composed of 14 teammate volunteers from across our stores, distribution centers andcorporate office who represent different demographics, experiences and backgrounds.

Chaired by our Head of Inclusion & Diversity, Paloma DeNardis, the council is instrumental in establishing goals and tactics, while our entire leadership team is accountable for ensuring change happens.
