Pros

+ Innovative RFID stock management systems + 30% discount on "passion brands" + Training materials available on many sports + Good communication on a national level + Stores have begun to attract real talent from all over Europe.

Cons

+ The worst I.T infustructure I have ever encountered in 10+ years of retail. Tills crash multiple times throughout the day, causing customers to have a really negative brand experience. This self-checkout system should have been tested thoroughly in one of the Decathlon campuses before being pushed into stores. + Lack of a functioning human resource department is unacceptable for a company the size of Decathlon. This factor has been mentioned many times online and now I've learned first hand why.

Pros

Good discount, fair working hours

Cons

Even though the majority of the staff were great the two managers hadn't got a clue. Any grievances no action take to resolve the issue, told you cant take any holidays during peak times but then managers are on holiday during these times....plenty of back stabbing and bad mouthing behind ya back. If your in the click then you'll get on but if not watch out!!! Wouldnt recommend working here far better jobs out there.

Pros

Nice environment. Hourly wage isn't bad if compared with other jobs with similar characteristics (on Sundays and public holidays you make twice your normal hourly wage: approx 12€ rather than 6.15)

Cons

Afterall you are still a sales assistant. Expect to work on Saturdays and usually in the evenings (until 9:30 pm). I don't see that many deserving people working there for long get promoted easily
