Job Review
Sales Team Member (Current Employee) – Melbourne VIC – 23 August 2017
A typical day at work requires me to constantly engage with customers. Part of working in the retail industry that i really like is the constant engagement with consumers. However, i do think that work can be quite tiring and that more breaks should be given to employees especially on a busy day as rejuvenated employees would be able to better serve customers.
productive and fun workplace

best people to work with, the most enjoyable part is reaching our goals and winning challenges to sell shoes in our area

Was Fired as a casual
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – Werribee Plaza VIC – 4 September 2017
Very unprofessional work place ( Werribee Plaza )
Manager would swear in front of Customers.
Was accused of Stealing till the found the second in charge manager was stealing. No apology for this matter.
I would stay back helping the stores promotion with buying items with my own money to Fix the store and signage without ever being appreciated or when asked to stay back overtime was not paid.
I got fired along with other staff when my manager decided to leave that day.

retail assistant (Former Employee) – Dee Why - Sydney Australia – 3 September 2017
Working at footlocker was a pleasure to be. My own opinion for anyone that's finding a job for the first time is footlocker would be a nice place to work at. My first day working i felt very welcomed & comfortable working in the placement , because they had shifts for me after school & in the weekend when i asked for extra hours. I loved& enjoyed working in footlocker and i will be more then happy to work at footlocker again maybe in New Zealand this time.
Pros
Free lunch breaks
Cons
Long hours was the best i loved them!
Corporate Nightmare
Sales Associate (Former Employee) – Not disclosed – 31 August 2017
Workplace culture here is very intimidating. My ex manager intimidated me and bullied me while working there and liaised with higher powers (head office etc), and therefore I could not report his behaviour without risking my job. Be cautious.
Pros
comfortable uniform, get along well with other associates, staff discount
Cons
pyramid management, intense work periods, head office involved in everything
Great staff benefits and training programs
Retail Representative (Former Employee) – Hamilton, NZ – 18 April 2017
Great staff benefits and training programs like minded people with a passion for the industry and the brand and the culture. Hardest part at the time of employment was hours(weren't enough) and breaks were subject to availability
Pros
Staff discounts
Cons
Not enough hours at the time of employment
A great environment to be in good co-workers

Always busy serving customers and sorting out the products for sale, setting up shelves with shoes and clothes. I learned to serve customers, set up the shop also did a bit of visual merchandising. Great. Taught me a lot. Always clean and tidy, nothing out of place. Climbing the ladders. Serving all the different kinds of customers.
Pros
Great atmosphere
Cons
Change in management

Sales Associate (Current Employee) – Cannington WA – 21 February 2017
A typical day will be hitting targets and KPIs set by the manager followed by serving customers. The most enjoyable part of the job is to work with people who have the same passion and interests as you.
The workplace had a good environment
Retail Assistant (Former Employee) – Maroochydore QLD – 15 December 2016
The job was very fun helping out with customers and helping with my maneger in the back and had an overall good experience with the workers, I even picked up a few skills in the customer service area and learnt a lot during the time of my work experience.
Pros
Hour lunch
Cons
Long periods of standing
Good work environment with plenty of opportunity to advance with hard work.
Casual Sales Assistant (Current Employee) – Kotara, Charlestown, Erina – 15 February 2016
The people in this workplace made the job as good as it was. Every one was always happy to help and lend a hand when it was needed and if no one in your store could help you could call just about any store in Australia and know that you were going to get a hand.
The other employees were always happy and in good spirits and if I was having a bad day they would go out of their way to change that.
I recommend joining the team if you get the opportunity.

Voluntary Sales Assistant (Former Employee) – qld Brisbane – 26 January 2016
Lovely manager, proactive and fun environment. I learnt a lot in the store about labelling and pricing including stocking as well. Enjoyed lunch breaks and very busy day, always able to help someone in need with the knowledge I was taught.
My introduction to the corporate world.
Manager (Former Employee) – Caboolture, Australia. – 2 November 2015
Being employed as a manager for the Foot Locker, and my first job in Australia, was both exciting and daunting.
Typical day started with opening procedures, morning coaching with staff. Check staff roster, and store preparation. E mails from HO, orders in the system and to do new ones. Make contact with regional manager.
Everyday was a learning experience, not so much with customers, but the company, and company systems, and organisational promotions. It was vital that all company procedures and promotions were to the `T`.
Management were supportive, and especially HR. Plus, there was great communication between store managers. The company offered in house training on all aspects of management and store functions.
Hardest part of the job...? Nothing really. As head coach, i delegated as much as possible, and i had a very good crew that i could depend on.
I liked the work. I was learning something new everyday, and i had a little scope to try different promotional stuff in store, which gave the staff more incentive, and enjoyment, plus out store turnover was the highest it had ever been in that particular store!

positive work place
sales rep (Former Employee) – Croydon, VIC – 30 June 2015
A typical day at work for me was greeting customers and helping them to find the best shoe for them. the things that i learned while at footlocker was how to interact with people while trying to sell them a shoe that they didnt know much about. The footlocker team and management are a good group of people with positive energy all the time so it was fun to be around them. The hardest part of my job was dealing with rude customers and having to keep a positive attitude, and the most enjoyable was being around the staff.
Pros
hour lunch break
Fun environment with lots of challenges
Assistant manager (Former Employee) – Australia – 26 February 2015

Through my time at footlocker i have learned manage a team and relate to all different people.
The hardest part of my job is that i always have to be on top of sales budgets, but i love a challenge !
The best part of my job is i get to Meet new people everyday.

Footlocker (Former Employee) – Brisbane, QLD – 23 April 2014
A typical day at work was never really very busy, it was always quiet, not many people went in. It was quite enjoyable meeting new people and their interest in branded shoes and jerseys.
