Pros

You recieve an employee discount for all footlocker stores. You also get to interact with people all day. You also get paid per hour plus 1% commission, which isn't very much. If someone buys a pair of $100 shoes, you only make a dollar commission. They should really consider increasing the commission percentage, which may in turn motivate employees to sell more.

Cons

It's your basic high school job. You get paid minimum wage and you don't get many hours. Also the stock room was a mess, and it was difficult to find shoes for customers. Managers should regulate the stock room and should regulate the employees who are going back there.

Pros

Working here puts you right at the center of sneaker, fashion, and youth culture. You get exposure to massive global vendor partnerships (Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma) and high-scale enterprise operations that look great on a resume. Solid corporate benefits package including a competitive 401(k) match, health/wellness accounts, and performance-based bonuses or RSUs at leadership levels. Excellent product perks, including an employee discount across all banners (Foot Locker, Champs, Kids Foot Locker). The corporate dress code is casual and sneaker-friendly. Internal Mobility: Because of the massive global corporate footprint, there are clear paths to transition across different departments (Marketing, Supply Chain, Tech, Finance, Merchandising) along with tuition reimbursement opportunities.

Cons

In efforts to streamline costs, optimize the store fleet, and fund digital growth, the company has historically undergone structural realignments, corporate relocations, or localized layoffs, which can impact team morale and workload distribution.
