Pros

Great products. No complaining about product concepts and range available or prices.

Cons

1. Pay is minimum wage - the company is worth billions and cannot afford to give it's employees a living wage. 2. Expected to slog it out day in and day out and take on added responsibility for no extra pay - but it is called 'DECATHLON VALUES of sincerity and hardwork' 3. Where in the world would you go from being an INTERN to a MANAGER (of any kind) -- ofcourse, because of being friends with the Management team. 4. Lunch hour is not paid for. 5. Employee discounts are CRAP. 6. Terrible management and organisation is one of the worse I have seen, even small start up companies have better order than Decathlon. 7. Only do it if you are so very desperate to get a job and it will look good on your CV. 8. There are no mid-managerial roles, so you're either stuck at the bottom rung of the company - (don't fall for their fancy job titles) or are a Manager (you're only a Manager if you make the right friends in the company).

Pros

Lot of room for growth and exposure to different practices in the retail industry. Young crowd, you can't not fit in. Very sports centric and sports hobbyists can really express themselves but only if they make the time.

Cons

No work life balance. Attrition is high. Expect your daily routine to be disrupted which may lead to health issues. Salary could improve especially since there is no overtime and we did a lot of overtime.

Pros

worst office timing, worst management, worst politics

Cons

Please fire the people who dont work instead of firing people who actually work and confirming the jobs for useless employees.
