At the time when I joined Decathlon it was like my dream job but wen we got a different store manager n his business tactics, it became a night mare for everyone who were against his tactics.
Decathlon is an amazing company but some stores are out of control with the company norms bcoz they make their own, as there is no transparency with the superiors.
It was a great experience untill n unless the store is being leaded by a wrong store manager

Teammates are very supportive. Time to time they provide proper training. They are flexible towards working hours. If you have potential then decathlon have every career growth opportunity for you.
I was little worried about Carrier growth, my teammates working on same position for more than two years.

Nothing is good there the people over here just try to make fool out the customer to buy there products and tell anything about there warranty and when it comes to give back the warranty they refuse it give

No pressure on Targets, no qualification needed they only care about communications Suggested department to join - racket sports, running, cycling, workshop, crm
Everyone is they're own boss Operation managers are terrible No support or help from higher position people We have to forget about our personal life Too much work, and we have to forget about how much many hours we're working It's better to decline the offer then joining into sports like fitness and mountain

32 leaves 2 week off but trust me you will fookedup one day This place is amazing for people who don't studied too much Like for this company you should hire housekeepings trust me they will bless you instead of hiring from good colleges
Everything After having 3-4y experience getting only 30k in hand During appraisal when we ask about salary they were said we get only 5-6% appraisal for country because country is De growing so you will get only this amount 1-2m hike Skill only developed for a guy who have better licking properties, Worst managers no sence of logics . Some time seems like working with narrow minded kids. There were a store where i joind recently Trust me chutiyo se bhara store i have ever seen, they organise meeting on Saturdays They hire people from MCDONALDS, where is the standard Decathlon Very degraded the hiring criteria No respect of experience guys Store manager abusing teammates in fun Ethics is only in documents in Decathlon or in during trainings I never suggest the guy who skilled...Read More

There is no boundaries to learn in decathlon you can learn and approach any leader out there and get your doughts clear over there. And there are negative points as well You'll be never paid fair.
1. You'll not get any fair payout. They say at the time of appraisals that there is no such thing called T1 and T2 cities hence we don't give hike basis on that.But why there is salary structure difference in same roles in T1 and T2 cities. 2. Politics :- my pervious managers was always do the partying with other persons on the samerole as me and always do the gossips at the same time. I was always bold to say things that they are not doing right but what happens they will make your image in front of zonal manager bad saying he's not good guy and always create problems. 3. Even when you have done lot of things proposed same things and delivered lot of profitable results in any field you'll be given same hike as the person who's not doing anything and licking the foot of the manager. 4.For the same role and responsibilities you'll be getting more layout in other stores. I'll say 30-40% extra. 5.work life balance:- here even if you work 48 hours continously work they will still say you haven't done anything and they'll not. Since these people don't have there own personal life outside they don't understand what is life outside work....Read More

2 years back every leader's help you to grow, they was understand what kind of help you require and they are trying ther best to help you from every way. Back then decathlon have nice culture 1. Celebrate the every teammates birthday party, In evey festival we were used to wear ethnic clothes.etc 2. To create a good bond with intern or employees/collageus we used to do monthly sports. Plus monthly meeting also where we share our plan and feelings.etc 3.Team partys, movies.etc...Read More
Now most of leaders are not supportive. This is the mean reason where you can not grow, can't get good hike. Right now in decathlon work life balance is pathetic.etc

Decathlon is human focused sports retail company which build a strong personalities inside the organization. The retail model is very attractive and one of the leaders in the sports retail industry. Company provides some really good benifits to their employees such as performance bonus, skill development programmes, Growth and job security.

It would feel like an extended college life for freshers. Amazing colleagues but the seniority would be pathetic.
They will use young talents at a bare minimum salary and the moment you ask for appraisal they will keep you working at the same salary or 2-5% hikes and you will be mentally and financially broke 3-4 years later you will move to point where you will decide to quit. Their strategy is to hire young talents and exploit their energy and finally flush them out when they ask for more.

Sports culture. Aggression. Learning ground for managers. Great values, passion and company vision. Open to listen and compete. Everyone has the same desk and laptop.
Zero ethical check points. Managers took advantage for foreign trips themselves quite frequently. Biasing is common within managers Vs encouraging quality work by subordinates. Culture of appreciation is unfortunately amiss.

Competitive salary
Firstly they operate without any functional HR, so your boss becomes your defacto HR (even at the time of recruitment process), if as a new candidate you ignored this red flag then I have something more to tell you- The level of politics and backstabbing is surprisingly awful! Finger pointing and dog whitlisting is even encouraged by your managers/ coaches in the name of speedier project execution making your workplace a complete mess! They will make you feel that they are adding value to your "wholesome" learning while actually they are making you mediocre and unemployable in real markets by imposing useless project management work with those endless calls wasting much of your quality time leading to a high attrition rate, the reason you will find frequent job advertisements for pending vacancies (reference- job vacancies on LinkedIn for RE legal every quarter) The only way to sustain and grow in this so called MNC which operates much like a "lala company" is by booot licking your senior bosses who in there past have also followed the similar path and are promoted not based on merit but sheer flattery and donkey work....Read More
