Have Fun in There!

At Academy, we believe that work should be more than just a job, it should be a place where you thrive, grow, and most importantly, have fun. We’re proud of the vibrant, dynamic culture we’ve created. But don’t just take our word for it, hear from our team members themselves about what makes Academy such a great place to work.

Our leadership programs

Cole Duplantis,
Store Director
 I was originally brought on Team Member for Outdoors.  I was given the opportunity to become a Team Lead, Sales Manager, Operations Manager, Logistics Manager, and was recently promoted to Store Director.
Corey DeShong, Store Director I started as an external hire for Store 90 in Franklin, TN. as a Store Operations Manager in May of 2022 and was shortly switched over to Softlines Manager under Store Director Terry Bushing. In this role I learned the importance of proper store presentation and helped create a positive atmosphere within the store. After 1 year and 2 months in this role I was promoted to Store Director of Store #354 in Knightdale, NC. I look forward to the positive results my team and I intend to achieve.
Yesenia Perez, Softlines Manager I began my journey at Academy as a team member in our footwear department in 2020. My initial focus was providing excellent customer service, developing product knowledge, and assisting customers on the sales floor. I moved to different departments when I had a strong interest in expanding my knowledge of the company's operations. Now, I can say I have experience in our merchandising and inventory control procedures. 9 months ago, I started a new challenge as a Softline’s Manager where I can help others to grow in the company, continue providing excellent customer services, and guide others to build customers for life.
