Pros

wage is standard for retail management. each sport operates under different standards, all depends on the city sport leader. gives lots of freedom to make decisions process are tech forward such as rfid for checkout, a app for stock management.

Cons

French company, upper management has little circle very racist, loves promoting their own and is very unapologetic about it. Too understaffed, locals are exploited by idealistic mantras like "we are all leaders" we need to help our SU's". communication methods are too outdated, uses whatsapp for all communication. you will get a hundred notifications a day

Pros

- you get to exercise tai-chi and other sports because its a sports company - Allows you to get creative with your hand and make your own changes to the layout, nice colleagues to teach you what's going on - young workforce and people to get along with - discount on sports apparels

Cons

- poor leaders with your coaches given too much power. Avoid the marketing team - they dont know what theyre doing and they give positions to people just because theyve been in the company for long. loyalty isnt expertise. you might as well hire a cleaner and make that guy the CEO for working 20 years at the company - pay isnt great either - avoid the manager handling the traffic in the team. doesnt know what shes doing and pretends to be nice all over

Pros

You will have lots of fun here and make good friendships. Good work life balance. You will get to play a lot of sports!

Cons

Petty politics right from the top management to the bottom. HR here is a joke. They practically dont exist. Your manager is your HR and if your manager is bad, you are a goner. He/she will ensure to destroy everything about you. Lots of blame game and politics. You can't trust your managers to support you or help you grow. They will backstab you just for their growth. An extreme toxic work environment. The work is stagnated, they have too many people for doing less job and each of them are getting ridiculously high paid for no god damn reason. You dont learn much when it comes to work because there is no quality work or growth in career.
