Sports Direct Employer Reviews

its not a friendly environment to be in nobody speaks English all management are doing the best to remove english from workplace as they think its meant to be for polish.

A typical day at work is work all day at till in Customer Services and I try to explain and help a different customer and different issue that it can happen.

This company is horrendous, they treat you like muck, they dont care about you as a person one bit. All they care about is profit, profit, profit. If you want to feel worked to the bone, exausted and have absolutely no gratitude for it then work here.

No staff are ever rostered because of heads per hour but it takes about 5 hours to clean up the store – more... after a busy day because you haven't been able to maintain standards during the day. The company does not care one bit!!!

You are expected to work days at a time for stock takes sometimes 24 hours plus straight, but god forbid you ask for a break!!! – less

I absolutely hated it!! the only enjoyable part was leaving at the end of the day!!! no staff so had to work on your own with a queue to the back of the shop, staff are backstabbing blue shirts are only in it for their bonuses so in the shop i worked in you would have one staff on till and floor upstairs and one downstairs so the shop was a constant – more... mess radios did not work honestly don't do it!! you will regret it!! – less

It was always a hectic environment on a typical work day. It gets stressful when the management does not really give credit to people who rightfully deserve it but because you love your job, you enjoy working anyways.

easy job, however management is poor, colleagues make you welcome, targets are easily met

Worked at Sports Direct whilst at College. Yes, it was good to work after College as the store was open till 8:00pm but there wasn't anything exciting about going to work. You work on the till, you fetch trainers for very rude customers or you're thrown in the men's/Women's department have to to 'tidy' up after messy customers.
The salary was poor and – more... your colleagues could be quite rude to you if you didn't have anything in common with them. Not a place I'd recommend full time. Part time was enough!! – less

first 3 years was great after tat alot of managers changed in 2 years managers had there favorites soft spot were a lot

In sports direct you work as a team, everyone has a job to do. never bored as there is always work to do. my co-workers are friendly and make sports direct, the most enjoyable part of working in sports direct is the customers. always able to have a laugh when serving them, and love hearing about there days

My time in sports direct was ok but its a no frills job not very testing and rather boring.

Good company to work for with good job security, Sports Direct are going from strength to strength. Good bonus incentives with stock takes and uplift in sales. Long days - 10 hour shifts and no reward for working extra hours during stock take when on salary. Job training is provided but very slow at receiving this.

from my own experience there was no staff care, or work safety training.

On arrival I log in and attend to duties given. This could be operating the tills , greeting the customers or generally working on the shop floor answering queries and keeping the shop floor tidy. I have learnt the general operation of the store on a day to day basis.
I get on well with all colleagues, Management and co-workers.
The job is relativley – more... straight foward and not too stimalative and customer contact is the most enjoyable part of the job. – less

Typical day includes taking cages of stock down to the basement, emptying the cages, putting the clothes into boxes, then once done, I tag and cube the clothes, hang them on a rail and move onto the next box.

Poor work place, my opinion with almost 7 years experience.

Working at Sports Direct is a long and hard day, but what job isnt? With this company you have to give a 100% everyday because you do not know what everyday is going to be like.

I started in this company with no experience but now i am a senior member of the team and have been offered a promotion. My co workers are a strong and loving team which support – more... and respect you. Our motivation towards each other is to help and believe so that we know that the job is going to get done.

The hardest part of my job is the hours during a week i would do 45-52 hours a week, so social life has an affect, but it is all worth it ! – less

It was a good company. A stepping stone that has helped me develop my skills in the work place.

lots of hours available and also flexible hours, suitable training offered

worked in a good team supervisor was fair, doing permanent nights was hard and didn't always get two days off in a row.

At first i enjoyed working at sports direct but when we got new managers it all went down hill, they wasn't very nice to the staff and almost like bullied you.
A typical day work there would of been tidying up the shop keeping things nice and tidy and serving customers on the tills when needed.
Some of my co-workers was nice to get a long with but some – more... of the others wasn't they didnt look happy or approach able to talk to. – less
