I've been coming here since this location opened years & years ago and this past year or so... service has changed. The staff isn't as friendly, they seem annoyed when you ask for help and when you do need assistance, *most* of them are no where to be seen. The selection also has gone downhill since they're always out of stock in certain sizes and I wait a couple weeks and still, no new inventory. The value is quite pricey for most things. I don't but certain brands from here since I know I can get the same thing at the outlets. I use to shop here more often but not as much now... it's just so different. Plenty of parking in the lot though so no issues there.

Purchased a thermos from the Carmel Mountain Ranch location yesterday and returned the next day…read moreafter trying it once with water because the design didn't work well for us. We requested an exchange, not a full refund without reason. Manager Barbara refused the return and was very rigid about the policy, despite the item being purchased less than 24 hours earlier. The interaction felt dismissive and not customer-friendly at all. Very disappointing experience compared to the level of service I expect from DICK'S Sporting Goods.

Went into the store with my son and said we were beginner fisherman looking to get equipped for our trip and needed help outfitting our bare rod and reel and empty tacklebox with the basics. The guy at the store pointed us to a wall with a gazillion different items and went back to spinning line onto a reel behind the counter basically ignoring us. Not helpful at all. We ended up leaving the store without buying anything. I'll try one of the other tackle and lure shops in the area to see if they are more helpful in suggesting gear and equipment for our trip. Bottom line if you are not an expert fisherman and just a novice this is not the place to go. Pity since we have over 20 scouts from Poway going on the trip and I was hoping to have a local place I could recommend for them to get their gear. Maybe this is a one off experience or whoever was so helpful to other reviewers was not working the store but based on first impressions I struck out. Hopefully this review helps the store become more helpful to folks new at the sport. I gave it a two stars cause the store is very clean, neat, and tidy but the customer service is not there.

This lasted a few minutes until she went behind a door to continue her conversation for pretty much my entire time in store (over 40 minutes, and yes I could hear her laughing on the phone while I was walking out). There was only 2 other people in the store working, and maybe 3 other customers. The staff that were actually working were very helpful, and helped my wife find the shoe she was looking for. I wasen't going to write a review, but we came in on a separate visit trying to get a duffle, the Same Manager was actually on the sales floor (surprise) and we had asked her if she could bring us one down one so we could look at it. She was right next to them, and instead called a younger employee to grab it down with some big stick that was by the front door. Why were we made to wait??? Why couldn't you do it??? I've seen stores that were going out of business with more attentive management. I advise going to the other big 5's as this one has poor customer service starting from the top!
