Finish Line, Inc. Employer Reviews

I started working here as a teenager and worked there intermittently through my sophomore year in college. The sales experience was invaluable.

this was my first job. every thing was great. i led sales my first three months, but when new managers came in everything went down hill. They had no respect for the employees.

I worked at finish line through college and advanced into management. It's a great company to work for.

Great work place always fun and engaging with the customers. Reliable co-workers and managers nothing is hard about the job,everything is enjoyable.

Good company needs to get competitive with FL brand if wants to survive

The typical day at Finish line would just consist of selling shoes and sporting clothing. Nothing really was learned form this job because i had previous sporting goods selling experience. Management was one of the weaker points of the job. They had a hard time teaching new employees how to properly do their job. They relied too much on a computer learning – more...  and not too much on the floor. I witnessed criticism to new employees right infront of a customer they were helping. The co-works on the other hand were more friendly and welcoming. Them along with myself did our best everyday to make our sales goals and help others with theirs. There was really no hard part to this job if you were comfortable with talking to people. For a lot of people that can be a huge issue. The most enjoyable part of the job had to been helping the people who came in the store not really knowing what they wanted and having them leave satisfied. – less

sell shoes all day. learned to deal with all types of people. the managers are horrible. co-workers are funny and easy to get along with. the hardest thing is dealing with the managers. easiest is being yourself and selling merchandise.

A day at work involved greeting customers and helping them find the shoes. I would have to go in the stock room and find their shoe, then help them try it on and see if it was comfortable. After helping them find shoes, we were encouraged to try to sell accessories, such as socks, shoe strings, hats, apparel, etc. Then we would ring them up at the register – more...  and check them out. On slow days, or when needed, I also helped stock and straighten up the apparel and the stock room.
I learned alot about different types of shoes and what is needed for different people. My co-workers were great. We all got along for the most part, and even hung out after work. The management was good, but I wouldn't say great.
I would have to say that the hardest part of the job was dealing with the management and how he could not make up his mind on what he wanted done. Eventually he was fired.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working with people around my age and making friends. – less

Job is great because you get to interact with a lot of different people, but there's not a lot of room for advancement.

I was promised a management position and never received it. I watch others come and go with pay increases. I felt that the manager was out only for himself and not for the increase in sales of the store.

Working for finish line was fun and was a good way for networking and building customer service experience. Management was easy going as long everyone was doing their jobs.

A typical day @ Finish Line is fast paced & competitve since everyone works on a commision base salary. I learned that As a manager you have 2 take your job really serious & that reprimanding employees can be a part of what you have 2 do if productivity is not being upheld

Excellent work environment fun place to work excellent employees

A typical day working at Finish Line varies depending on what time of the day it is and also what time of the year it is. I enjoy working during the holiday because we are constantly busy and active. I can work a 12 hr shift and not even notice it because I'm constanly moving. I like working with retail because I get a variety of customers and I learn – more...  all the preferences for them. Working at a shoe store has also taught me the benefits of investing in good shoes, which can effect your health. A good pair of running shoes can help with your posture and also help with the muscles and tendons within your lower extremeties. – less

Working to help customers have a enjoyable experience. Making sure the store is at a high energy level and the store looking great.

Finish Line was in the mall so it attracted different people, so was able to enhance customer service skills

I wish that my boss didnt get fired cause i would be still working this job it was great the people the managers i will never say nothing bad about this job.

Love working for The Finish Line, just looking to relocate to Bloomington-Normal, IL.

A typical day at work, opening up the morning starting the regristers counting in the drawers, varifying the night before's paperwork. When associates arrive making sure they get busy right away. In the morning checking for applications and setting up interviews. What I have learned through finishline is more customer experience creating more responsiblity – more...  and more coaching skills for other staff memebers. The management there is very well skilled very knowledgeable. I am the only girl on the management team it is an honor to work with the guys that I do. The hardest part of my job is to tell a customer no. Its all about the customer and making sure they have the best experience but it comes to having to say no, there are times when it comes tought. The most enjoyable part of my job is the customer's and working with the staff. And making sales I love making sales! – less

Great place to work for your first job. Very nice experience working there.
