The work culture initially was good, but it drastically degraded in 2-3 months. You get to work with different kinds of people, it makes coming to work interesting. Also they wont fire you no matter how badly you work. there's no target pressure unlike other retail stores.

Dislikes

Absolutely BS! this company will sell themselves to you as a company which promotes growth inwards, you can change your role whenever you want and go in a different job role inside the company. what they fail to mention is that it'll take you on an average 4-5 years on floor with bare minimum salary to join backendound-color: #fff5e4;">. you have to sweet talk your way into promotion, it wont matter how good you work unless you are in good relation with the upper management</mark>. I have worked with managers who were in the company for 8-10 years with a salary of 38k. if you end up not on the good side of the management they will keep you on the same salary and position for years! Forget having a life outside the company. you will have to live and breathe decathlon, to the point where you will have dreams of facing the products, or doing delivery. do not expect anyone to give you guidance, because the managers who are willing to do it, have probably left the company by now. There's a revenge culture within the company, if you are doing your job and step on some toes, expect that there will be consequences big or small. Lot of biasness while giving hikes or promotions, the kind of work and effort you put doesn't really matter then. If you want success in this organization, just be on very good terms with the upper management. do not question them, also forget any work life balance (which essentially means there will be times you would be working on your week offs, and easily will have to extend shifts from 9 hours to 12-13 hours a day at least 3-4 days a week), you will be set for a promotion in 2 years. The "coaches"/ managers aren't responsible for your growth or for any contributions in the team, they have been hired just based on their networking skills, not their work....Read More

No work balance, no appraisal, no benefits, no leaves. Manager boasts about growth and learning but you only learn to fold clothes and maximum you can learn some basic Google Sheets function which a primary class student can learn on its own.

Work environment is average because you're a multitasker and get to learn in depth in a short span of time. Their culture is very good. It's a team game, so wherever you go teammate will be super supportive. One problem is faced globally is the management, which is not transparent. Working in store in a great place for chilling. Company policies are on average, appraisal is very low and they give bonus every month based on company performance . Appraisal and salary hike is very very low....Read More

Dislikes

There is no politics but the management is poor,who doesn't address the issue. Starting salary is good but career growth is super slow. There is no bond,you can leave anytime on the probation of one month. On the Job training is the best thing Decathlon could have. But new joinees doesn't get the chance to know all of it

Work is quite interesting! I don't have to struggle for anything because there is always training sessions. Learning process is very fast. I have tasted different roles in the same team, which helped me to know more about all the things in details

Dislikes

1. Work hour are not fixed, if the work is not done yiu have to stay till 3am in the store, no personal life, 2. one can compensate work hour is future but there is no guarantee to it, totally depends on availability on teammates. Every second day one could have to extend his work shift of 10hrs to 12 hrs or more. The police made my top management is not followed at the store level. 3. You will receive calls from teammates even when its not your official working hours and you are enjoying at home. at the time of leaves also be ready to answer work calls because is you choo not to answer then you are not a supportive teammate and you appraisal may get hamper. 4<mark style="background-color: #fff5e4;">. Appraisal is not according to the daily work performance, the daily job you do at store dosent qualify you for a good appraisal, to get appraisal you have to work on different projects</mark>. 5. Not all stores inherit same culture proposed by the top management, every store has different work culture which makes it difficult to adapt at a store change for lower-medium level employee. 6. Favouritism is still there, you may see employee who are already familiar with top management getting promoted quickly without looking at other skills. 7. Work stress- Employee at lower level is expected to do 100's of work done which are not even mentioned in the emploment contract thus they experience a lot of stress. 8. If you leave at 3am at night no conveyance is provided by the company and next day you are supposed to be at store at 9or 10 am. 9. I have seen teammates leaving store after 26 -30 hrs or work. 10. They look for sportivity in candidates while hiring but after hiring there is no sportivity in the candidates life. 11. Because of uneven work hours your mental and harmonal growth sucks, one may become obese because of uneven eating habits or stress eating, your personal body sleeping cycle sucks, everyday your breakfast, lunch & dinner time will change due to this one can gain serious health problems. And I have seen prople suffering from these issues. 12. In the starting your body will feel comfortable because you have nurture it from 20-25 years and after 3-4 years of stressed, overloaded work culture and eating and sleeping habits your body will seriously be ill....Read More
