Decathlon reviews

The review that said “Unconcerned with realities of customer expectations, retail, and employment norms in the US” is incredibly accurate. Read that for everything you need to know. The willful ingnorance of the US retail landscape has led to a series of poor decisions that leaves the management constantly making changes to save face. English within the corporation is abysmal. For a 13 billion dollar company it is embarrassing. Conversations amongst managers and anyone French-speaking are always conducted in French and leave American workers out. Additionally, workers from abroad receive much better benefits than the other employees leaving all Americans feeling as if they are second-class employees. Management continues to bring in employees from abroad rather than promote from within which makes the situation worse. The company is EXTREMELY cheap and always defaults to doing more with less, which does not work if you base your company in the SF Bay Area. Don’t expect good pay or benefits. Turnover is high as a result. Performance reviews are very rigid and usually focus on negative aspects of performance rather than positives. Little help is provided to correct the negatives.

Too many politics in C-suite lead to poor management of teams and team member’s goals
