      Pros

      - 30% off products - Good at training employees

      Cons

      - management is rubbish: The job of the operations manager is to meet with the customer assistants every 6 weeks and brief them about their progress, mine did not do that and had just joined at the end of November and waited until my 6 months probation was up (beginning of February) to tell me what they did not like about me and decided to not keep me. Other managers were rude and acted like they were superior to you but when I asked them for help I got told to ask the duty manager who was often busy. They also find it a problem to book holidays or days off. - team members are not friendly at all and don't like to make conversation. -On my induction day, I asked one of the managers if there is anything I could do since I was not trained on anything I got told, 'yeah I saw that you weren't doing anything and I know you're new but...' which was not helpful at all. - Majority of the employees don't have patience to help you when you need help. -There is no team work. -The place is just depressing to work in because no one smiles.

      Pros

      Colleagues are friendly and the only ones who can feel with you and work with you in the same way.

      Cons

      I have been working full-time in London. I was full of motivation and dedication to my work, which was not appreciated at all. You have to be very lucky which manager you get. In Uxbridge the management was very unprofessional and not organised as they never had previous management experience. The store manager was the same who did not get why the shop was not reaching the monthly target and why it was underperforming. It happened because of no investment in any marketing, no communication at all with the employees and not taking good care of stock. The store manager only reaction to this issue was to fire more employees without giving any warning, feedback before the process. You really have to be in a good relation with the store manager in order not to get fired. This Decathlon is not a good representation of the Decathlon in Europe. In the UK there is serious lack of knowledge in the company how to manage shops and employees. There are big language barriers among management and employees. It was always a hustle to take your holidays and find out when are you working on which days as the manager was so disorganised and only cared about her holidays and rota. This work place is only good for short term experience at the beginning of a career as it not worth putting all the physical energy and effort to it. There are better jobs than that. You have to count with no work-life balance, low salary and slavery job where your work is not recognised.
