Pros

Employee discount Gym on site Cafeteria on site

Cons

The benefits here are absolutely horrible. 401k is a 1% match and insurance premiums are very high (and keep going up every year!) for a sub-par plan that still leaves you with a lot of out of pocket expenses. Many doctors and medical facilities don’t take the current insurance offered here. The pay (and raises) here are also very low - and you only get paid once a month, so make sure you know how to budget! Depending on your luck, or lack thereof, of who your direct manager is, your experience here will either be “ok” or downright horrible. Some managers are awesome, while many have mastered the art of micromanaging. The workload balance here is very tilted. Your coworker(s) could be browsing the internet/playing on their phones all day while others are there late at night trying to get things done. It is frowned upon to leave at five, even if you have all of your work done. Want to take vacation? Good luck getting it approved. If it’s near month end, it will never get approved. Only the people that become buddy-buddy with upper management get promoted, regardless if they are good at their job or not. Turnover at the corporate level is extremely high here.

Pros

Working here puts you right at the center of sneaker, fashion, and youth culture. You get exposure to massive global vendor partnerships (Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Puma) and high-scale enterprise operations that look great on a resume. Solid corporate benefits package including a competitive 401(k) match, health/wellness accounts, and performance-based bonuses or RSUs at leadership levels. Excellent product perks, including an employee discount across all banners (Foot Locker, Champs, Kids Foot Locker). The corporate dress code is casual and sneaker-friendly. Internal Mobility: Because of the massive global corporate footprint, there are clear paths to transition across different departments (Marketing, Supply Chain, Tech, Finance, Merchandising) along with tuition reimbursement opportunities.

Cons

In efforts to streamline costs, optimize the store fleet, and fund digital growth, the company has historically undergone structural realignments, corporate relocations, or localized layoffs, which can impact team morale and workload distribution.
