adidas Reviews

Great discounts, you can pick up extra shifts if you want, uniforms, knowledge of product given over the course of employment and fun working environment.

Management are on a bit of a power trip, can't always get approved leave, difficulty getting smaller sizes (inventory isn't that great)

Interact with employees more, listen to their suggestions. Management at head office is excellent. Operations within Australia seem to be doing very well.

Pros

A decent Discount, free clothes so you don't have to spend your whole paycheck on your uniform. brand recognition worldwide

Cons

No credit given where credit is due, and further, no accountability when poor work is completed. Pay is mediocre, the senior management has no care or thought of the ones below them, and are NEVER around. The business model is very poor, there is way too much stock in the stores. They do not focus on promoting the right items, and do not listen to the employees.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your employees, listen to your customers! Sell the things that sell, get rid of the things that don't. You can't sell the same stuff the same way on the east coast as you can on the west coast. If someone does a good job, tell them so! Discontinue hiring outside managers, promote from within.

Pros

Its easy and a fun enviornment. It is always very slow. We get 8 dollars an hour so that is good.

Cons

The upper management is bad they are always trying new things that don't work. We get treated like cattle so it sucks.

Pros

adidas offers great perks, very good benefits, and fair salaries. adidas is very willing to promote from within and regularly moves employees internationally. There are some great people who are very smart that work at adidas.

Cons

There is a high school like culture within adidas and a general lack of acceptance for those who aren't in the same mold as everyone else. The company has difficulties with change management. Until recently (2011) strategic planning was a weak point throughout all levels of the organization. This is still a problem area but has improved.
