Good place to work as a secondary job
Sales (Former Employee), Arlington, VA –
Pros: co-workers, discount
Cons: management, sometimes unreal attachment selling goals
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

Ok if you need a part time job
Sales Associate (Former Employee), Clarksville, TN –
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

OK Place of Work
Sales Associate (Former Employee), North Attleboro, MA –
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.

Fast paced enviroment
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Ocala, FL –
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

Productive and hard working company.
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Troy, MI –
Pros: love that i get to interact with people, gives me a chance to meet new people.
Cons: customer coupons have too many exclusions
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

Productive, friendly enviroment
Assistant Manager (Current Employee), Burnsville, MN –
Pros: meeting new people everyday, and getting to work with the staff
Cons: beneits
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
