Pros

Salary Package is good, when you break it down to working 48 Hours or less. Most other employees are great people to work and socialize with. Customer interaction can be a fun, fast paced environment makes most days go by quick.

Cons

Much time worked over 50+ hours per week, up to and including 82 hour work weeks. No Holidays off in addition to your regular work week, often 6 day work weeks. Open to Close shifts more than 2 times a week suck! The time allotted to complete tasks is generally unreasonable and the amount of workload at times is way to much. Redundant paperwork, antiquated POS system, antiquated file system, antiquated training.

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.
