Foot Locker – “An honest view of Footlocker from a long time employee.”
Pros
Salary Package is good, when you break it down to working 48 Hours or less. Most other employees are great people to work and socialize with. Customer interaction can be a fun, fast paced environment makes most days go by quick.
Cons
Much time worked over 50+ hours per week, up to and including 82 hour work weeks. No Holidays off in addition to your regular work week, often 6 day work weeks. Open to Close shifts more than 2 times a week suck! The time allotted to complete tasks is generally unreasonable and the amount of workload at times is way to much. Redundant paperwork, antiquated POS system, antiquated file system, antiquated training.
Advice to Senior Management
Old school thinking needs to be thrown out, fresh young minds willing to be trendsetters and not followers would be a great start. Merit increases would be a nice addition, better quality of life for Managers. There are many other employers that don't have a 50+ hour work week in their vocabulary!
