Pros

Great, enthusiastic workforce. Recruitment good - so employees are all similar. Fantastic values that are followed. Horizontal management structure. As much responsibility as you want!

Cons

Not sure where future lies within company. Low costs often lead to set backs. Price always beats competitors, but low costing structure means people would rather shop elsewhere leading to cuts in hours.

Pros

Decathlon is a company which cares for its employees' wellfare. The management cares about creating groupe cohesion and an agreeable working environment. There are many very interesting career opportunities even when starting at the lowest level. Contrary to many important French companies, Decathlon values its employees' qualities and hard work without focusing on their academic backgrounds.

Cons

The management teams of the retail stores are mainly composed of men while there are many women among the regular employees.
