Pros

If you are young where you can have a job like this, it will be good for you because it looks good for you later on.

Cons

- Upper Management either doesn't want to promote you or promote the wrong people to just fill the empty slot - They say they look into hiring quality candidates, but they take the cheapest - They don't pay well, and when you bring this up, they act very offended. - Corporate roles that "offered" for internal candidates don't actually go to someone internally with the right background and qualities

Pros

Welcoming team and atmosphere. Employees are very tenured and enjoy what they do. Lots of growth with the acquisition with DSG. There are ample opportunities to learn, grow and move within the company.

Cons

Benefits could improve regarding PTO and healthcare. Additionally, working hours are currently 8am - 5pm, which seems a little outdated.

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.
