    AI summary of recent reviews

    The Athletes Foot is characterised by strong team culture and supportive co-workers, with many employees describing their workplace as having a family-like atmosphere. Staff appreciate the comprehensive training programs, opportunities for customer interaction, and valuable employee discounts on footwear and sports apparel.

The role requires maintaining extensive product knowledge, and the peak season from December to February can be particularly demanding with extended hours and increased workload.

    Good experience and company.
    The good thingsLovely staff, and provides a great opportunity to build confidence in relevant tasks like taking phone calls, orders, stock and invoices, building rapport with customers, and I have such a bizarrely large amount of knowledge about shoes.
    The challengesUnfortunately customers / retail are the down fall of this job. The job itself is great but the customer service aspect can be the challenging part at times, like any retail job really.

    Great co-workers but constant money driven and upselling pressure from management.
    The good thingsCo-workers were the best part of this place and the brand reps that came in to visit. Discount on shoes and first dibs when a new shoe came in.
    The challengesManagement were awful. Constant pressure to sell and upsell things, especially during back to school. Was taught to only care about how many pairs of shoes and extras we can make in a sale instead of focusing on the customer and their needs. I worked in numerous stores and it was all the same. Management didn't care about staff wellbeing. Extremely money driven place to work.
