Pros
-Great discounts on stuff you actually buy. -Medical and Dental Plan (even though I couldn't afford it). -Comfortable uniforms (you can wear ANYTHING thats adidas and in season) -$300 allotment every three months that you can use to purchase your uniform items. -Cool events where you can meet people in the sporting world including athletes, agents, trainers, etc. -I had an excellent store manager.
Cons
***Management informally ask very much of their employees in terms of staying longer, doing various work that you do not specialize in yet they give absolute 0 in return.*** *** Management can alter their own clockings so that they do not appear to break attendance policy (no checks and balances for them) -Level of respect toward employees could be better. -Unreal attendance policy, I would say (realistically) 80% of the starting employees lost their job within the first year because of this. -It is obvious that the retail department would rather have new hires rather than sustain a veteran work force. -Human resource department is not efficient -Large corporation feels distanced from employees. -I had a very incompetent supervisor. -I had a regional director who was unknowable of the adidas brand.
