Foot Locker – “It doesn't get any worse than this place....”
Pros
If you like sports and need lots of shoes, this is your place. Good core group of employees under the Senior Mgt ranks.
Cons
Executives drive for profit comes at the expense of mistreating employees and micro-management that paralyzes the organization. This sentiment filters from Execs through Directors and turns a good group of well meaning employees into a discontent family. Turnover in the corporate office nears 25% a year. Employees tied to Wausau stay, the others quickly leave. Salaries are well below average and HR will purposely undermine employees to keep it this way. Will not invest in talent, rather hire cheap local talent to fill most roles.
Advice to Senior Management
Change needs to start at the top. The beliefs and values of FL.com's CEO and Matt Serra are clearly evident in this organization. Need a true leader to turn this organization around.
