Pros – Good for learning how to be a good customer service representative, teaches you a lot .

Cons – Not enough acknowledgement of the associates ,the pay sucked even though I was on salary base with commission. The hours were horrible .Management was very bias to point of recognition by other employees

Advice to Senior Management – Try to show associates more appreciation because a happy associate will go beyond and above for their manager.

Former Employee – worked at Foot Locker full-time for more than 8 years

Pros – The 30% discount was awesome! I had the freedom to recruit and hire my own staff for many years. I built and maintained an awesome professional relationship with managers in my district.

Cons – There is virtually no room for advancement, unless you are one of your district manager's favorites. It takes forever for a successful manager to be promoted to manager trainer compared to their undeserving counterparts. The only career path that is explained is the district manager track. That position rarely opens up; not every store manager wants to be a district manager. As a store manager, expect to wear many hats: HR, loss prevention, visual merchandising, etc. However, this has helped me tremendously in my current position as my peers tend to depend on the people assigned to the respective roles I listed.

Advice to Senior Management – Create training programs designed for individuals who want to pursue a career other than district manager for Foot Locker, Inc. Help your store managers achieve a successful work/life balance. A 52 hour work week is ridiculous! Also, take the claims of harassment that are called into your hotline more seriously. Get involved when an associate says that their district manager has singled them out because they reported an incident.

Former Employee – worked at Foot Locker full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Discount. Some of the customers, the regulars. Learned a lot about customer service and how to deal with rude people. Learning and growing. A few workers I worked with.

Cons – Terrible managers that get hired at age 17 with no experience. No one help you unless its to their benefit. People sucking up to management to get ahead. Terrible district managers who think they know everything. Caused stress and anxiety and will never work for this company again.

Advice to Senior Management – Know who you put into high positions. Do not put someone from a foot locker into a lady footlocker with no training or knowledge of dealing with the type of products and different customer bases. Manager or DM. Everyone is not ready to be a manager. I was but clearly the company do not like to keep good workers.

Former Employee – worked at Foot Locker full-time for less than a year

Pros – I really enjoyed working in Foot Locker as it gave me an opportunity to make money, develop my management skills and helped create a path of leadership that was exciting.

Cons – Long hours (as a lead/manager, often as long as 12 hours) and a focus on "add-ons" (socks, insoles, polish, etc.) which sometimes makes the customer experience more like buying a used car.
