Great in Theory, Bad in Practice. - Sports Advisor Decathlon Employee Review

The recruitment is misleading as it emphasises on opportunity even from entry level, however there is a severe bottle-neck when it comes to progressing within the company. Progression depends more on how long you have been in the company and who you know rather then your ability or work quality. Management is very poor and lacks basic communication which leads to massive losses and bad atmosphere/morale. As most stores operate independently, retail workers often suffer (lack of hours or bonus) if their particular store does not make a profit. Has a good training program but it is not very well implemented. There is a poor work-life balance, especially if you work in a store.
