    Worst thing

    At Decathlon they preach about everyone being a team and working together but when working their I felt totally isolated and not included. Not to mention the “diversity” that they preached about was very scarce , being the only black girl there I faced many micro aggressions from the talk of my hair and my nails ,when recounting that to a friend of mine who had previously worked there before me they also shared similar experiences which is why they left .I do not feel like I was treated like a human with emotions, Decathlon picks and chooses when they wanna care about staff but the brutal truth is that your only apart of their so called “team” if you fit face. I was being harassed by an older member of staff, I felt uncomfortable and unsafe in my work space. They was not fired but I was because apparently a man old enough to be my father who harasses and makes inappropriate remarks to a young girl has the qualities of a decathlon worker which I did not poses.

  • Best thing

    Discount is 30%

    Worst thing

    They don’t train staff properly, make promises they don’t keep in regards to progression, and ask too much for how long you work in a week. Unless your face fits, you’ll never progress no matter how hard you work.

    Decathlon Warehouse operative, December 2021

  • Best thing

    It is relatively simple to do, it’s quite repetitive so you will get into routine and most people are nice.

    Worst thing

    The break isn’t long enough to have much properly, it feels rushed every time. They only did initial training and then left me to my own devices so I don’t feel very confident. Also the probation time is too long so you don’t get any benefits for 6 months.
