Pros

Quality products that you can be proud of being a part of. The company is successful. Generous staff discount, however it isn't amazing. If you're a multi sport athlete you'll feel welcomed and at home.

Cons

The company slogan used to be "Live the Dream" but that is not a reflection of the way that staff are treated. Due to the lacking remuneration levels in the head office and the top-down negativity from all rungs of the ladder, it is anything but for staff who don't fit the "sporty outdoors people" mould that the company so highly covets. There are no performance incentives for any staff whom are not management, or directly tied to sales.

Pros

Kathmandu has excellent POS systems, merchandising materials, and online training. Systems were simple and laid out cleanly. The work atmosphere was quick and busy but very rewarding and interesting.

Cons

Upper management held ridiculous store sales targets based solely on the performance of the year prior. They obviously had never worked in retail before. On the job training could be improved to better learn upselling techniques.
