Pros

Schedule flexibility and some great coworkers. Years ago it was a fun place to work.

Cons

Low pay, increasing work loads with no additional compensation, a merger with Champs Sports where the Footlocker/ Eastbay staff was let go but they are the ones who knew how to use the programs. The skeleton crew that were left had to pick up the slack for the Champs folks who did not want to learn the programs. Whole departments were eliminated with those positions being outsourced to India, and IT to a call center in two waves over the last 4 years. Upper management is caught in their own echo chamber of congratulating themselves on quarterly profits, while failing to understand how that sounds to workers who are not given more than a 2% raise each year which does not keep up with the cost of living or inflation over time. This has been an annual occurrence over the last 20 years. Walmart was compensating shelf stockers more than I was making after over 20 years of employment.

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.
