Pros

Shoe Discounts, 30% of in NYC to be exact. You also have to put your name on a list a week prior to a new release and if you are a part timer (everyone is when they start until they receive a promotion) then you can pray to the lords above that you get your hands on a new release.

Cons

Favoritism, discriminating managers, terrible hours (talking about 1 day a week with bi-weekly pay). When you hear how much they pay you might catch a stroke and pass away. bi-weekly pay is $6.38 + a terrible 1% commission. Rule of the jungle while on the sales floor, so employees will shove you or run through you to take a sale in the blink of an eye. Cant miss work because of school, they say it in the orientation "I dont care if your grandmother dies, come to work". Definitely not a good place to work, everyone can do much better.

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.
