Footlocker pays less than minimum wage and it can be very stressful. As part of management, you are obligated to be moved to a different location even if it inconvenient.

This was a good and fun job for me because I was very interested in sneakers and I enjoyed helping customers with any question and recommendations they needed.
floor salesman (Former Employee), Temple Hills, MD – August 5, 2012
Pros: getting shoes at a discounted price
Cons: not making a good amount of money
For my first job it was a good start. A typical day at work consisted of selling shoes to different customers. I have learned how to read people and what they like. The management was very helpful in teaching me the job. My coworkers always like joking around and playing games. The hardest part of the job is persuading people to buy merchandise. The – more... most enjoyable part was seeing kids faces after their parents just finish buying them shoes. – less

working for the company you had your days were you would be in the back stockroom putting up 100s of shoes and clothes.. the management was awesome laid back but would jump down your thought if he had too.. the hardest part of dealing with the job i had was just dealing with a anger customer, the most enjoyable part was just seeing new faces trying – more... to pitch a sale – less
Sales Associate/Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Tulsa, OK – May 21, 2012
Pros: pay, environment
Cons: commission based
Depending on the day it can be fast paced or slow. Learn a lot about different types of shoes and athletic gear. Management changes a lot. Co-workers outgoing and easy to get along with. Hardest part of the job is making the required number of sales. Most enjoyable part of the job is everyday environment.
