Why Foot Locker?

Employees of Foot Locker see decent benefits, including 401(k) benefits, paid time off and vacation time, health insurance and prescription coverage, stock options, and company discounts on certain items in the store. You need to have certain requirements to qualify for some of these benefits, but this is a standard practice within the industry. Fulltime employees will gain access to all of these benefits.

A high school diploma is a big plus if you want to be a strong candidate as it shows responsibility and determination.
What’s Expected?
Foot Locker employees should have a firm understanding of how to size shoes, they should have great communications skills, be able to work with customers, and they should have a sales oriented attitude. They are also expected to be responsible, as showing up to every shift and being on time are a must here.

Tips for Gaining Employment
You can apply to Foot Locker in-store or online. The online application is on their website, with the “Career Opportunities” link located at the bottom of the home page. You can search through job openings here, search by location, and then gain access to the application for the opportunity that you are most interested in. Give yourself more than enough time to fill out the application, and be sure to be thorough and accurate. Highlight any sales experience or a background in clothing or footwear.
If you go into the store to get an application, remember that this is the first impression that you will be giving a hiring manager, even if it is by word of mouth through the employees on duty. Dress nicely, be sure to wear decent shoes that Foot Locker carries, and be pleasant and patient. If they are busy, come back at another time when you will not be a bother to those that are trying to help customers.
