Pros

-Great Product Line -A fantastic Business Model -A very compelling recruitment pitch

Cons

-Very young Management with not a lot of experience. -40 hour week is realistically more like 60 with no overtime. This is expected as it has a very European approach to employee expectations. -training is in different cities all you are expected to stay in less then professional acceptable accommodations with shared rooms. -their is a lack of communication within management and it’s ability to manage employees. -they don’t have a defined training program and employees are just thrown into the floor. -the pay structure is very low competitively -they tell you that you will be an Ambassador in your community for your sport. Once you are hired you realize quickly that is something that is to be done on your own time as your job is to do retail only. They use a lot of manipulative language to make you believe otherwise.

Pros

Pros: - doing sports together - employees can decide what to do "Pros"- you know what I meant: - you can make mistakes; you can miss deadlines; you can fail your missions - you can register the same training over and over again and no one cares - you always hear the good news even you see something going wrong - the easy way to get to the mgr position is to talk and challenge others - lots of meetings and people hug each other; what a warm and supportive group... and follow-ups,results ? who cares - this company must be loaded because they spent more time partying, travelling than doing

Cons

Allow me to use Decathlon way to comment " no cons... absolutely not. all positive "

Amazing Work Culture, but Poor Salary Structure

Business Outlook

Pros

1. No boundaries attached or created. All works together. Even the CEO would be standing next to you and working 2. Amazing learning. The amount of work I learnt cannot be measured or explained 3. Responsibility. No one bugs or tells you what to do. You are the sole owner and responsible for the result 4. Amazing growth for the right person. People have ended up becoming store managers within 2 years 5. They promote zig-zag career growth; today you may be working in Logistics and tomorrow you may join the IT. Its that awesome 6. Lot of sports involved 7. Passionate about lowering product prices and customer happiness 8. Monthly manager debrief culture is unique and important

Cons

1. Pay is horrible. You may start as low as 18000. Even after 5-6 years you may not be earning that much compared to your peers in other firms 2. Work can get crazy, especially in stores. Store people have no life; most of them work on weekends till late night like zombies!
