Pros

The people at Decathlon are passionate and always optimistic about the future. Challenges are big and the company culture makes them more and more ambitious. However, never mind how the bar is high, the positive attitude make it possible to over perform. Through my experience I learned a lot on the field and thank to a strong support from the management. I also could match my personal hobbies with my daily job and make the most of a wonderful work-life balance. Never felt squeezed or even close to a burnout.

Cons

The salaries and benefits make it on average. You won't see many people driving porches to get to the office. Not ok for people only driven by money. The company is always questioning the way the do business and this is good to keep performing. However it can shake the most of the people.

Pros

Decathlon is a company which cares for its employees' wellfare. The management cares about creating groupe cohesion and an agreeable working environment. There are many very interesting career opportunities even when starting at the lowest level. Contrary to many important French companies, Decathlon values its employees' qualities and hard work without focusing on their academic backgrounds.

Cons

The management teams of the retail stores are mainly composed of men while there are many women among the regular employees.
