We work hard to provide 100% satisfaction for all our customers by providing real sports equipment, for real sports-men and women, of every level and ability, at excellent value prices. Decathlon relies on a sporty, dynamic workforce to achieve this and the management of this workforce is largely decentralised to give responsibility to those closest to our customers. Being a sporty company, we work hard and play hard and the next challenge is never far round the corner!

TRAINING
Just as a serious sportsperson has to train and be coached, but also needs lots of match practice to win, we believe the same is true of our staff. So our graduates don’t follow a classical "graduate training scheme" but instead receive a mix of formal training, coaching from their manager on the job practice. We also have a support system in place for your professional exams.
