Pros

Employee discount, decent PTO benefits, cutting edge product and technology

Cons

District Managers are completely clueless about what REALLY goes on inside the walls of a store. They tend to just show up when things are bad, and very rarely give any praise unless you are one of the "chosen" ones. This isn't something just the DM's do, this attitude is very apparent when you go to awards ceremonies and the same people continuously get preferential treatment or get promoted just because they are willing to suck up to RVP's and DM's. Also, if you are planning on working for this company, DO NOT EVER believe that there is room for advancement past the Store Manager position, unless you want to be a district manager. I saw many extremely talented, more than capable individuals get overlooked and eventually leave the company just because the company wasn't willing to shuffle the deck to get them to corporate office. Politics is king inside Finish Line, and if you aren't willing to do that, this isn't the company for you.
