Pros

• 50%-off family discount twice a year • okay benefits, but nothing that amazing

Cons

• no opportunity to grow your career; a lot of empty promises and stalling between managers and HR • pay is not competitive; HR lies about doing market research and is awful at justifying why they underpay you • entire company is outdated and out of touch with current trends, marketing, and technology • lazy, inexperienced, and unqualified management that cannot provide clear direction or goals • management takes advantage of team; expects everyone to work long hours and dismisses people who ask for support or to be compensated • CEO and VP's only care about other executives; no appreciation for junior-level employees • boy's club mentality in the corporate office; women are openly treated as inferiors • multiple executives have made me feel uncomfortable/not safe, especially when they drink too much at office functions

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.
