Pros

Great people work in entry level and mid level roles, talented and fun people to work with Brands are amazing to work with

Cons

- pay is below average in the industry - lack of progression, people promoted based on personal relationships and not work ethic - If you aren’t in the click you will not progress here, bully and gossip mentality comes from the top and is nothing short of vile behaviour - no support from managers to progress, they only care about saving themselves - workload is ridiculous with last minute requests which adds to stress - lack of planning is so frustrating if you value structure and routine - massively high turnover rate, if you make friends they will more than likely have left within 18 months - communication is very poor which makes it difficult to do your job properly - no team spirit, people will push you under the bus - brand values are false (social, inspirational, fearless) brand events involve copious amounts of free alcohol and induced fear for weeks afterwards - you are hired for your expertise but ideas are never appreciated, the company will continue to look to the past when making decisions and are hesitant to make change to their ways - I would be very concerned about the brands outlook and would advise you to avoid here at all costs

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and sharing your feedback about our work environment and our Brand. We are very sorry you felt this way while working with us. In Life Style Sports, we focus on Diversity and Inclusion, whether it is in our stores or our Brand Centre and our commitment is illustrated by our recent Gender Pay Gap result, which reflects that our Gender Pay Gap is 13% more favourable than the Irish Market average. There are a lot of opportunities at Life Style Sports and we are committed to offering progression to our teams, with 52% of our roles filled by internal employees. We are delighted that our employees are supportive of our environment and have voted to rank us in the top quarter Top Employers in the Sunday Independent 150 Best Employers. We value feedback, which is why we conduct exit interviews with our departed Brand Centre Team members and which is why we would love to hear more from you. Please email us @Career so we can discuss this in more detail.
