Pros

They pay well for the work done in most cases. Uniform allotment was a great thing to have to help keep up with having to showcase our new merchandise. Very liberal when it came to personal looks such as piercings and tattoos. Benefits are awesome, not as awesome since switching to BCBS but still great for retail. Always meet interesting customers with a passion for their sport.

Cons

Adidas America to need to get their act together still. They haven't yet gotten a communication system down. Most store management is given free rein of stores with little or no overseeing on corporates part as long as they don't make big mistakes. Store management is run with no integrity and it is all about who favors you then hard work. The atmosphere used to be casual and fun and it showed in customer service. But now stores are run like high schools with no principals lately.

Pros

When I started at adidas, I was drawn to the casual atmosphere and the fun people who made up the employee force. This is still true today. The company also offers a great benfits package, a 401(k) which they will match up to a certain extent, and ample FTO (Free TIme Off) Days. A starting employee has 1 week a quarter, plus a free floating holiday.

Cons

Career advancement can be tough. When jobs become available, they are not always fairly posted for everyone to know they are open. People are not always given the chance they should be and positions will just mysteriously get filled with someone the hiring manager already knows. Also, starting salaries are low, and raises are extremely tough to get.
