Fun

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 16 September 2023

Fun environment. Chill coworkers. Good discount. Bad and inconsistent hours. Feet can get sore on busy days from running around and climbing ladders. Stock room is your best friend so make sure to get familiar with it

What is the best part of working at the company?Filled with growth opportunity, co workers were like family.What is the most stressful part about working at the company?The constantly changing marketplace and keeping up with consumer demands.What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Like any company there are ups and downs and not everyone you work with is going to be your best friend. But the company recognise diversity and is always looking for ways too improve the environment to ensure all feel welcomed and are included.

Fair pay, fun environment

Manager (Former Employee) - Canada - 12 August 2023

Pay was fair and the job isn't bad if you are into the merchandise. Need to hit sales goals but ability to make bonus monthly was nice. Would recommend as a place to work in retail

Fun easy going

Supervisor (Former Employee) - Alberta - 26 July 2023

Fun workplace good for a first job hard to move up in smaller stores. You can learn a lot of you apply yourself. We’re short staffed for a lot of the time.

Fun job

Associée aux ventes (Current Employee) - Montréal, QC - 24 July 2023

The staff is what makes the work fun. Customers can get pretty rude and expect a very fast service. You will get no upgrade on the salary with time so no opportunities on the long term.

Fun workplace

Part Time Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Edmonton, AB - 20 May 2023

This was my first job, and I am grateful for the 4 years of experience this company gave me. Most of the people I worked with were young, from 16-25, so it can be a fun first job.

Pros

Discounts, commission

Cons

Not enough hours as most are in malls, which are baren in the off seasons.

Jobs at Foot Locker

Correcte

Représentant des ventes (Former Employee) - Montréal, QC - 16 May 2023

J’ai adoré les personnes avec qui je travaillais, ils donnent toujours une bonne ambiance et c’est le fun travailler avec eux. Le rabais avant était bien, mais maintenant il y a certains souliers sur lesquels nous ne pouvons pas appliquer le rabais. Quand tu es à la caisse tu dois limite obligé les clients a donner leurs e-mail sinon on diminue tes shifts. Pas de communication de la part des gérants lorsqu’il y a un problème, si tu as fait quelque chose de "mal" genre ne pas avoir pris assez de e-mail parce que certains clients ne veulent pas le donner, ils vont juste pas te donner d’heure. Je trouve qu’il est important d’avoir une certaine communication avec ses employés surtout lorsqu’on est gérant et je n’ai pas trouvé ça très professionnel de leur part de faire ça à plusieurs de mes collèges. Déposent l’horaire 2-3 jours avant que la semaine commence donc c’est un peu difficile faire des plans. Il y a beaucoup de favoritisme selon moi.

Pros

Employés et rabais

Cons

Communication, pression

Great coworkers

Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Kamloops - 24 April 2023

Coworkers were almost always a good time, definitely a relaxed job, and keeps you busy when needed, I’d recommend this job, especially they had good hours for while I was at school.

ok

Retail Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 30 March 2023

Good for a while but cut shifts constantly. Management is strict and rude and if you are not favoured you will get any benefits. My location was okay.

Stressful Workplace with Arrogant DM’s/SM. They will also Lie about promotions to keep you around.

Assistant Store Manager (Former Employee) - Kitchener, ON - 11 March 2023

The District Managers, especially in southern Ontario are very much stuck in their ways and don’t implement anything new and improved. The only things they implemented was twists on their old tricks that no longer work.One tactic they also use is every 2 months they will come to you and talk about how many great opportunities their will be for their ASM’s but consistently across all stores they continue to lie to ASM’s pay them $16/hr just to keep them around.

Pros

Discounts on Clothes/Shoes

Cons

Long Hours, Uncompetitive Pay/Terrible Pay

Pros

discount, co-workers, culture

Cons

no growth, minimum wage, no job stability

Great for part timers

Full Time Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Ontario - 20 February 2023

This is a great job for part-timers. If you want to be a manager, I suggest looking elsewhere. Corporate only sees you as a #, not as a person. You are not heard in this company and expected to fall in line. It is very stressful and the company lacks compassion toward its employees.

Pros

Easy job for a part-timer

Cons

Stressful

Good music and discounts

Cashier/Sales Associate (Former Employee) - Toronto, ON - 26 January 2023

Foot locker is the worst company to work for. You are replaceable immediately. There’s so much favouritism in this company it’s ridiculous. There’s no growth in the company, they look over staff who have been there for years that know the company inside and out but will hire people who don’t know anything about the company or sneakers.

Pros

Company discount

Cons

Minimum wage

Waste of time and no work life balance

Large Volume Store Manager (Former Employee) - Calgary, AB - 26 January 2023

As a manager they expect 24/7 work but only pay hourly. Upper management lacks compassion and staff are often unmotivated. As a manager it's your responsibility to keep everyone working hard but you are encouraged to hire staff with a specific personality "sneakerheads" and unfortunatly the mentality of these employees is they are there to be cool and any type of negative feedback can cause them to complain at this point Upper management doesn't have their managers backs and makes it impossible to drive success out of fear of retaliation. They are notorious for firing people that don't fit in. They set standards but don't allow them to be achieved. Very stressful environments. We're even encouraged to break covid protocol. They require staff to use their personal phones for work constantly and offer no reimbursement.

Pros

Good discounts, casual dress, bonus

Cons

Unfair expectations, poor Upper Management, false culture, non inclusive, age biased, unprofessional, unsafe
