Pros

30% discount off everything in footlocker Footaction champs and all other associates . You get to see all the new stuff first

Cons

Base pay needs to be more , they start you at $6.38 an hour and 1% commission. So if it's slow you chk is gonna suck , and management doesn't pay much better about 650 every 2 weeks

Pros

Working here puts you right at the center of sneaker, fashion, and youth culture. You get exposure to massive global vendor partnerships (Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma) and high-scale enterprise operations that look great on a resume. Solid corporate benefits package including a competitive 401(k) match, health/wellness accounts, and performance-based bonuses or RSUs at leadership levels. Excellent product perks, including an employee discount across all banners (Foot Locker, Champs, Kids Foot Locker). The corporate dress code is casual and sneaker-friendly. Internal Mobility: Because of the massive global corporate footprint, there are clear paths to transition across different departments (Marketing, Supply Chain, Tech, Finance, Merchandising) along with tuition reimbursement opportunities.

Cons

In efforts to streamline costs, optimize the store fleet, and fund digital growth, the company has historically undergone structural realignments, corporate relocations, or localized layoffs, which can impact team morale and workload distribution.
