Pros

New CEO seems focussed on giving the company a well needed "facelift!" Very focussed on strategic planning and improving the environment overall. Generous discount Financially stable

Cons

Very "flat" organization with a lot of tenure...that is people have been there 30-40 years and aren't leaving and there are only 3 levels of management and no levels in job titles i.e. Senior Developer or Developer I, II, III. No promotions are ever given because no one ever leaves the managment jobs. As a result most employees lack any drive because they know there is no hope for advancement or recognition. Change adverse organization, old technology, minimal formal processes, very reliant on vendors, minimal to no innovation-logos, stores and websites need facelifts. Marketing across stores should be a focus. But again, change is in the air!

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.
