    Mold everywhere, no cleaning staff, no security to help sales assistants with violent and hostile customers and managers lock the doors so you can’t leave when your shift is over.

    9.8

    JD Sports Employee, March 2023

  • Best thing

    Lots of interactions with customers and on weekdays the store is quiet so can have a chat with coworkers

    Worst thing

    Staying late to clean sometimes staying 2 hours overtime. Managers are disrespectful and don’t actually do their jobs just sit in the office gossiping or eating. Standing up all day and not being allowed to sit down. Not being allowed to go to the toilet unless in ur break (shits are 9 hrs long only 1hr break halfway through shift)

    1.8

    JD Sports Sales assistant, March 2023

  • Best thing

    JD Sports Employee, January 2023

  • Best thing

    25% Staff Discount, sometimes lovely customers, 1 hour break (unpaid, though), it is close to where I live.

    Worst thing

    Everything else. Every branch I worked, a management is the issue. In my recent one, managers with staff keep standing around and talking for 10-30 min if not more, while watch others work and not relax. There’s also a lot of favouritism; so no matter how hard you try to be hardworking and nice and compassionate and outgoing, the favouritism over other workers is real and they can and they will group around you and make you feel terrible and stressed out by just talking behind your back, pick on little things & mistakes that they also manage to do but not manage to see it.
