Pros

Discount on shoes. Can’t think of other pros

Cons

Management is a boys club and is set in their ways from 30 years ago. Low pay, below-average benefits, siloed teams, incompetent HR, minimum 9-10 hour days at an office job. Unnecessary fire drills and weekend work for projects that didn’t require it. Leadership is very hierarchical which can inhibit collaboration: a person’s title matters more than their idea. Leadership seems unable to determine priorities, and a lot of work feels like a wild-goose chase that is then undone weeks or months later when management inevitably pivots in a different direction. The data and tech landscapes anre also a mess and impossible to work with. They have been talking about cleaning it up for years, but TBD if this will ever happen. This is easily the most disorganized company I have ever worked at. My coworkers and I, all hired around the same time, had an agreement that we would all quit within a year.

I’m really sorry that your time here felt discouraging. What you described isn’t the kind of experience we want for anyone. It’s clear that you care about the work, and it’s frustrating when that effort doesn’t feel supported. Your feedback about communication, leadership structure, and direction is important and will absolutely be shared with the appropriate teams. I truly appreciate how detailed and honest you were, it helps us understand where we can do better. Wishing you the best in your next chapter!

Thanks for being upfront. Meeting new people is always a highlight, but we know pay and management support are huge parts of the job too. We’ll keep pushing to make Foot Locker a better place for the team on the ground!
