What don't you like about working at Foot Locker?

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The upper management and officers of the company are some of the best talent I have evr been associated with. The only suggestion I can think of is in regards to the recessionary times kind of marketplace positioning the company should really have in their sites. Exclusivity is great as their overarching mission and target, but diversification of Brand Tier Levels with a wide mix of price points can attract potential consumers to cross the lease line to purchase add - on items first (as a reverse strategy to the traditional add-on business). People are holding on to their greenbacks so you have to loosen them up with a wider mix to entice them in. The private label business is fine, but additional tier levels of Branded S2 / Department 16 accessories and special promo items work well in a lack luster economy."
