... mostly hire young people.. so that gives a lot of vitality at the work place. The salary is never delayed. They have good benefits like insurance.

Dislikes

They don't promote easily, all the upper Management consist of people they know previously, irrespective of your hardwork and dedication they prefer their previous team mates for any upper position be it a full timer/coach/referent.

... 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.

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.

... freely with me team .. Learn about piloting, retailing and crm and many more. The best part I like about decathlon is that salary comes on time and the 30% discount for employees is good.

Dislikes

The upper leader of the store are not good ..they want to run store in their on rules and they are doing discrimination in salary by new employees.. giving more salary to new one and same salary to old one .. This discrimination was the reason I left from zirakpur decathlon because of the discrimination doing in employees by store leader Ketan.

Work life balance You will have to work like a dog mostly. Most of the time u have to work extra hrs which are unaccounted.no holidays on public leaves that means you wont be able to celebrate with your family most of the time.2 week offs are there but you will use it for sleep only as you will be physically exhausted completely after the 5 days worklife. Have to please everyone if you want to grow in the company.
