Decathlon reviews

Political, corporate racism, 10% monthly bonus is way too little

- Emphasis on brainwashing employees by exploiting their passion for sports and turning them into retail slaves. - Preference to backpackers from Europe, toxic work environment with Europeans having little regard to egalitarian Australian working culture. - Widespread discrimination - Lying to employees is commonplace. - Upper Management defensive to suggestions, lying to staff about their potential career and their roles at Decathlon- in our case, the company over hired staff to work during implantation (building the store from scratch which sometimes involved heavy lifting and working in the sun), then 2 weeks after store opening a lot of employees were given redundancy notices citing poor sales. Not a good way to treat the staff, definitely. - Rostering issues, they use excel and google docs as their rostering platform. Last minute changes to rosters without notifying staff. - Lack of clear communication regarding company policies. - Not enough reward for effort: below average pay. - Little regard for work/life balance. - Too much emphasis on facing of the products and little about customer experience.
