Lacking in Leadership

Pros

The companies mission, vision and values are commendable and inspiring. That is what attracted me to Decathlon in the first place. But...

Cons

The implementation of the company's mission, vision and in particular its values leave much to be desired at the store and department levels. For example, the concept of team doesn't actually exist. Instead, in the zest to create an autonomous environment, people are constantly competing against one another, even those within a single department, creating a toxic environment were people are dishonest, unreasonably demanding, and often unhelpful.

Pros

Working with like-minded people. We are all active in sports, able to work together, and most of our peers are fun and welcoming.

Cons

Long working hours, 10 hours shift (including 1-hour break). The country leaders usually don't make decisions based on the real-life situations in the store but rather based on this rainbow and sunshine and rainbows they imagined that is happening in the stores. They pay below market rate to their employees, especially the part-timers, but expect them to work beyond their responsibilities.
