The culture is strong around sports and the values are very clear from the top management to the bottom management.

Dislikes

New projects are usually launched with unfinished outlines. Very KPI centric. Teammates are overburdened with too many additional responsibilities to focus on their primary role. The appraisals are very "Manager" perspective focused, meaning, despite you doing your utmost best, if you are not well versed with how to document and present to your manager, you won't get any appraisal. Most of the times, teammates are busy fulfilling their additional responsibilities and that leaves them lacking in primary ones. Leading to the manager questioning the KPIs. And if the teammate is focused on primary job and not able to take additional responsibilities, then the manager will question the teammates' motivation. All in all, it's a loop and the teammates usually end up getting either bare minimum, or nothing at all....Read More

Work culture & Development in terms of Trainings & personal growth is a huge plus in Decathlon. Its a people company which focuses very much on growth of team mate along with customers happiness. That too by allowing their Team mates to be authentic with customers, It also gives you opportunity to go in other sectors like logistics, Production, Customer Happiness team, IT, Brand (Product manager), etc Management level trainings are really benefiting if you doesn't have any Management degree, But you need have decent coach which supports you with these again the Team mate has to be hungry to learn these, cause work inside store won't let you do it but if you can hamper personal time then it would great learning for you. Do not get amazed to see the salary structure of OSL that i have written below its no easy task to get hired as Full Time OSL unless or until you are able to confidently speak(communications), Have some experience or skills like Excel(not basic excel😂),PPT,Doc, organisational,Team leading with good strong behaviours & you are very clear to have future in Decathlon only. Still you might be offered only PT role coz we can't take risks....Read More

Biggest -ve would be the work life balance, No matter your WO or leaves whole day you'll have something in your plate left to do your manger may not ask you to do work outside store but you'll do yourself to grow . After devoting 4 years to this company i am kinda stuck at same role not able to perform really well or change it to other sectors of decathlon. First salary regardless of role is very good but the increment is very very hard to get unless you have done something extraordinary (5-7% in avg hike). 5 is what I got with average performance. With my current skills that i have learnt within organisation an Dept.Mamager in Decathalon can easily get Store manager in other small brands with much higher salary say 50-70% hike which is what my knowns are getting. It's the case with DMs only since for further roles(Operations,SM,Retail manager) the basic salary has been increased by 20%. You'll also see biasness is name of Gender diversity, i have seen females with less skill set getting much better opportunity to their male counterparts who may have higher skill/experience or even performance still, Decathalon has to promote women leaders this is evident with a lot new female Dept. Managers being promoted earlier if you've decent skill/performance also with new connect type store (small size) opening we can see more women store managers or if you coming for recruitment chances of female getting hired is much higher. Whereas a male has to perform extraordinarily best to grow ahead a bitter truth that all the RMs knows but will not accept it cause its against the value of company(⁠+⁠_⁠+⁠) Edit: Dept Manager salary has been increased recently by 38k & though basic OSL salary has already been hiked from 25k to 28k, but again see the %difference, Coaches are working much ore than the OSLs still the average hike & compensation is really less....Read More
