Micromanagement, Favoritism and Poor Leadership
Pros
If you want free shoes, apparel, and a slice of ignorance, go work at this place. The only flame embedded into this franchise are the amazing staff that the leadership abuses and under compensates.
Cons
I expected better from a company that I was loyal to for three years, yet nothing of this nature existed in Fleet Feet Orlando. I have never experienced worse ownership in my entire three years apart of the company, which also included Fleet Feet Sacramento and Rancho Cucamonga. Poor leadership and poor management operate Fleet Feet Orlando, which created a toxic work-place environment where colleagues had no voice and no compensation. In my short 7 months of working for Fleet Feet Orlando, I was not only berated in front of customers by ownership, but was also misguided to train new hires and scolded for not having clear direction . Not only do the owners pick favorites, but proved time and time again that if you have an innovated idea, you should stay silent. I would not work for this franchise and would not recommend this place to anyone. Go work at Track Shack or Fit 2 Run before you work for this franchise. The ownership and shoe buyer does not want you to succeed, they merely want you to be a pawn in their scheme.
