Pros

- International environment - Good salary - Free coffee & tea. - Nice two or three employee events per year like barbecues dinners, gala week (teamweek) - Employee discount up to 50% (two times a year) - Sample Sales - Finally one fact no less important it is possible to use a company bus

Cons

- Minimum training & development: Long learning curve, after 16 months you start to understand how works the company. Regardless there is a lot of hierarchy is not well organized. If you kiss up the management back you have a lot of chances to be promoted even if you are not a good performer. - Work Environment: There is not very optimistic work environment probably because there are a lot of expectations and pressure from the managment. There is not compensation due to overtime (time for time or pay out). - Middle & senior management teams tend to save their own assess. I worked with some of them and they do not have any background in the field in which they were directing (Most of the cases people with the ability & experience are just below in the food chain saving somebody’s bacon). Location: Not a good location. Do not dream about long holidays. Long holiday ~2 - 3 weeks which is quite common in Europe is perceived negatively from an american perspective.

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.
