Awesome work environment

Pros

Promote from within. You work with competent people. They train you well. Awesome if you enjoy talking to people. All about the customers. Contests throughout the year

Cons

They do not pay management anywhere near industry average. The company is all about the customer, so if you don't like people this is not for you. Work environment is extremely competitive

High expectations for employees but it is not they are not rewarded for for hitting them.

Manager in training

Pros

I have worked for Foot Locker as well as Champs Sports and I can say far and away Finish Line does the most when it comes to taking care of the customer. Finish Line is heads and shoulders above the other chains when it comes to training employees.

Cons

While Finish Line does more to interact with employees they do little support them. While associates at all three big store make the same Finish Line management does not make enough. I made as much as an Assistant Manager with Champs as my Manager makes some months. Recently the company has also changed the bonus structure for for management which is not helping the situation. While the company means well senior management often over looks the store model, I could see Finish Line turning into Eastbay.com in the next ten years.

Pros

Finish line has a good discount and good benefits for it's employees. It's a very fun atmosphere to work.

Cons

Horrible leadership in mid-level management, If you are trying to be promoted they would rather get rid of you before they train you. The training programs suck across the board. The company is very cheap when it comes to producing good people.
