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
Dislikes
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

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
