Pros

If you like sports and need lots of shoes, this is your place. Good core group of employees under the Senior Mgt ranks.

Cons

Executives drive for profit comes at the expense of mistreating employees and micro-management that paralyzes the organization. This sentiment filters from Execs through Directors and turns a good group of well meaning employees into a discontent family. Turnover in the corporate office nears 25% a year. Employees tied to Wausau stay, the others quickly leave. Salaries are well below average and HR will purposely undermine employees to keep it this way. Will not invest in talent, rather hire cheap local talent to fill most roles.

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.
