Pros

good benefits working with fun people in a comfortable environment

Cons

Low pay, inconsistent hours and schedule, slow advancement opportunities. Work only if you consider being in for a long haul good part time job

Advice to Senior Management

Good work

Pros

Foot Locker is one of the biggest athletic chain retailers in the world. Always room for growth and advancement. Good benefits and employee perks.

Cons

The culture is very fast paced and you must catch on quickly. Long hours are often required to meet short deadlines often.

Advice to Senior Management

Management should consider expanding the number of employees to raise productivity. More financial incentives would boost employee morale and productivity as well.

Pros

Discount, promotions, flexibility, management, scheduling

Cons

Pay, hours, commission-based, too much work sometimes, not enough product

Pros

Overall Lady Foot Locker is the perfect place for anyone who want to learn retail management.

Cons

Lady Foot Locker does not compensate very well in my opinion. The commission percentage is really low.

Pros

Manager is flexible and understanding. I took a trip up north for a few weeks the first month I started working.
Manager is hard-working, smart, and positive in my eyes
Employee Discount
Meet variety of customers. 95% of the time its a very positive interaction
Coworkers are usually cool and fun, I've met a few great people

Cons

Pay
I pick up for other peoples slack when I finish early after working hard.
Stock is hard and stressful with little recognition
Retail is also stressful.. Quotas need to be reached.
They don't train you on Product Knowledge.. I googled everything I know.

Advice to Senior Management

Pay the hard workers more. They are assets to the company
Train employees on PK. We should be able to give information on shoes
At least 2% commission for PT

Pros

great hours, great discount on shoes, time flies by when your at work and it is really fun helping people finding shoes

Cons

we never get any breaks and the GM is really mean, I have worked tehre for 15 years and I am still only maing 7.50 an hr

Advice to Senior Management

stop working people to teh bone, also change the music in teh store, not everyone is a fan of hip-hop maybe try playing some country

Pros

The company is very well structured and it kind of teaches you how to control the business. The communication between bosses and employees is very fast, clear and constant. With the "info centro" in each store, anyone can follow their performance, as well as changes in the company decisions, new releases, prices markdowns, everything...

Cons

The management is totally disrespectful. They can be rude, over react, ask anyone to work longer hours without any extra payment, everything is about the company. Nobody feels valued...the rights and written policy are not applied in reality. The turnover is very high.

Advice to Senior Management

Go and study about how to manage people.

Pros

Good discount and employee appreciation weekends
Staff was good to get along with, friendly people
You work by commission, which could be a pro or a con- on busy days you could make a good amount of money

Cons

Back room is poorly organized, sometimes unable to find things
Senior management was not at all accepting of family events or time needed off
Schedule was not made up in a timely manner at all
Too much fluctuation, too many hours during busy times of the year and sometimes no hours during non-peak seasons
Management was not very fair, favoritism was definitely a key part in the workplace

Advice to Senior Management

Be conscious about your employees personal lives, we do have such a thing! Don't try to put down or harrass employees when they need certain days off, try to be more understanding.

Pros

It's a job and discounts on sneakers.

Cons

Little or no recognition for the work done except if something is wrong. Then you get all the negative recognition you bear.

Advice to Senior Management

Morale is low and dropping. Managers lack the guts to stand up for their employees.

Pros

Discount of course!
Retail experience (once you leave here you'll get hired easily and get paid better)
Works great with school/sports schedule.

Cons

The pay is terrible, but the discount balances it out. The higher volume your store is, the better your commission is. You must work during busy times (back to school, black Friday, December period) or YOU WILL GET FIRED!

Advice to Senior Management

Apply your knowledge and understand what customers are looking for. Customers are lazy and they don't understand sneakers; the more you do for/inform them, they happier they are. Swell your accessories (socks/shoe cleaner/insoles)
