Pros

The best reason to work at Footlocker honestly is the employee discount and first dibs on shoes IF your manager allows.

Cons

The pay at this company is HORRID. Whoever says it isn't is lying to your face. The pay x expectations is just terrible. As an assistant I made $8.75 plus 2% commission. You might see the commission on your check and you might not. As an assistant I dealt with conversion, add on sales, doing morning paperwork every morning, conference calls while the store was busy, closing paperwork, Tues & Thurs shipment by myself until someone came into work in the afternoon to help (shipment could consist of 30-90 cases). Stock room management, sunday payroll processing, weekly window display changes etc before even thinking about dealing with customers. This job wears on you mentally and it takes forever to move up within the company. I believe that the only people in this company are the one's that settle and are just to lazy to look for something new. You also deal with transfers that you aren't told of until they happen and you either accept or take a demotion. No matter how you leave the company, resign giving your 2 weeks or mutual agreement you are listed as un-rehireable out of spite. This company is great for children that like shoes but not for an adult looking to make a living

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.
