Pros

1 - Independent Thinking is encouraged 2 - No spoon feeding 3 - Creativity is the only way. No SOPs which are adhered too. 4 - Customer Satisfaction is really taken seriously. 5 - You find your way around a problem 6 - Entrepreneurial Spirit - you manage your own business.

Cons

None for me. But for newcomers and experienced chaps from other companies - would be difficult to understand what this company is all about and the passionate people who work here.. We do not care if there are no ACs, no canteen, no fancy designations, no long working hours, monday morning blues... If you are passionate about sports and willing to work hard - then this is the place to grow. my advice - look at sports champions like tendulkar, federer, usain bolt - you think they cared if there were ACs, Canteens, 9-6 training hours...They had passion and wanted to succeed...If these values are not in sync with your values - Then very difficult for you and your project.

Pros

are u kidding me? The only pro is that whatever you do next is always gonna be better. Employee rapport is extremely good.

Cons

Its a company which fools sports passionate people into doing the job of a salesman. Say goodbye to your life.

Pros

-High amount of responsibility given. -Autonomy -Good Culture -Great place for retail people -Good Vision -Great place for sports people I worked at Bangalore store as a sales manager for about an year, I would say company has some great plans to expand in India. They judge you on what you do.You can take your own decisions(autonomy),have flexible work timings(depends on manager),work with a set of diverse people. You get a chance to work from forecasting to cleaning the floors in a day.For me this was a very humbling experience as you see senior people doing the same for years.

Cons

-Poor Compensation I was paid a salary(say X) & was promised growth in salary(on paper,officially) after 6 months(of X+Y).The Y never happened even after 10 months.I spoke to senior french manager.He denied the fact that it was promised even after i showed him papers.Shows lack of honesty or transparency(Honesty being one of the core values). -I doubt if senior people respect company values. -They hardly respect Indians.(Saw french customers favoured compared to Indians)
