Reebok

Reebok faces a massive transition after a complete re-organization of the entire company in the past few months into early 2017.  adidas Group has removed all "Group functions" from Reebok in the Canton headquarters and this has displaced entire groups within that building including HR, Benefits, Tax / Liability, IT, and Facilities as of March 31st 2017.  Many direct Reebok employees were laid off end of 2016 as well.  Additionally, the re-org affected every remaining employee in one way or another with many taking demotions and some even having their compensation packages reduced.

adidas also made the decision to move Reebok from its longtime headquarters campus in Canton, MA to the Seaport district in Boston, a major commute into a city not known to be commuter friendly.  This has serious impacts for many of the remaining employees that will make this trek into Boston beginning in the latter half of 2017.  Internal projections are that many more employees will leave on their own once they realize the impact this new commute will have on their life - balance situation.

Morale is understandably very low at this time.  Confidence in the current President is extremely low with many feeling that he's been given a short window to turn the company around.  With losses mounting annually to nearly $150m for this Brand, the question isn't if more change is coming but when.  The speculation is strong that Reebok will be sold by adidas within the next 18 months, bringing about more personnel losses.

A typical day involves meeting daily goals, customer sales, and working with your team to meet company standards.

You have the opportunity to learn the basics of customer service, sales, and teamwork. This basis can form strong work ethic under the right leadership. This can carry over well into other aspects of your life and can correlate very well into other aspects of customer service.

Management CAN be good under the correct guidance and leadership. Management is different in different stores and is very situational. However, manage in the upper offices is very supportive and the regional and district managers really give the company a name.

Workplace culture revolves around what Reebok believes in. Mental, physical, and social strength. This is what their logo represents and what drives the company.

Hardest part of the job is adapting to different to managers which is bound to come. Like most other companies, they tend to go through a numerous amount of managers and supervisors before they settle a bit. After awhile they tend to start the cycle, rinse and repeat.

Most enjoyable part about the job is being part of a team that shares your vision, knowing your management has your back.

Unfortunately, Reebok isn't Nike in the sense that the product doesn't sell itself. If you work here, you earn your keep with the sales that you make. You will have to work to make your sales.

Worked at the headquarters location for 4 years in Canton, MA. The company culture is great - very laid back and fun, seems everyone's hitting the gym of their lunch break. The building itself is incredible – fountains, amazing fitness center, corporate retail store, barber shop, etc. Overall it’s a fun environment to work for, but as the years go on, you discover there are few opportunities for advancement, and the below-market pay doesn’t help you achieve your personal goals either. Management has the wrong approach in my opinion – there is certainly a mentality that employees should feel lucky to work there, and not that they company feels lucky to have their employees working there. There was a constant struggle to have employees be ‘engaged’ but, when management isn’t engaged themselves, how will that trickle downstream? If you don’t pay employees well, why would they be engaged and work harder? At the end of four years I learned a lot and had a recognizable and respected company name to put on my resume, but I couldn’t be happier after leaving. I miss my colleagues most of all, and having an excellent fitness center to use, but besides that, there is little more I miss. In closing, the company had fairly good health benefits and it was a fairly low-stress environment to work in.

Reebok was an awful place to work. The management was awful and unorganized. The shifts were long and inconsistent. Paychecks were biweekly and often times missing hours and it took weeks to be corrected. Because hours were logged in wrong it was impossible to get any accurate sick time or vacation time.  Your shift never ended when it was supposed to due to lack of communication: i.e- having to stay later to clean or count or fold clothes. New rules were implemented per shift which made it hard to keep count. Employees constantly calling out and leaving the store short of staff which mean shorter breaks and bad work culture. The management was rude and offensive. They did not care about employees at all! Everyone was competing with different store locations which made it difficult to have any fun with competitions because if your location lost you would be in trouble. It was nearly impossible to correct any errors when it came to customer service. Never received a proper raise even though work load and work hours increased from 30 hours to 50+ hours a week.

Communication, what are the days priorities. 
Always teaching & learning the benefits of what a the day brings, whether it be a specific customer need, or a new product that needs to be reviewed. 
Working and discussing the day/ week outlook with Mgmt, communication was always there. Calling buyers for product to keep the store at it's best to make stores sales. Mgr worked with you.All for one, one for all.
Co-workers always fit perfectly,quick to learn, backed each other up when needed, looked for ways to help with the days priorities, enjoyed the rewards from satisfied customers.
The hardest part of the job, when it would happen, is not making the sales goal when you did your best to pass out coupons, or challenge the employee to add on more, or doing your best to help a specific customer, & not being able to close the sale, but they are grateful and will come back,
Enjoyable part of the job for me, is probably everyday, keeping the staff happy & motivated was what i am about., meeting new customers, or  your repeat customers & having them thank you for your help, is an everyday experience, the the most rewarding.

Because I worked at an Outlet store, I had to constantly be attending to multiple different customers at the same time, which was very exhausting and stressful. The only thing I really liked was my co-workers and the managers. Although, at times, management would demand more than what was possible and wouldn't really give a realistic solution to the problem. For instance, if a certain manager or assistant manager ONLY opens and never works a closing shift, they tend to blame the employees from the night before for not cleaning enough, while completely disregarding that, on most weekdays, there are only 2 or three employees that have to arrange the mess that most customers leave behind, clean the floors and windows, count the money in the register, etc. in about 30 minutes to 1 hour. Meanwhile, in an opening shift, all you do is check the register (which has already been counted), rearrange some items, and start hanging up clothes or stocking shoes.

A typical day at work is like hosting a party at your house. We're like family with duties to do. The managers communicate what needs to get done and we plan on how to get it done. I learned from them how to be more organized with everything I do. I also learned how to manage my time and how to think of the bigger picture. The managers know how to work with the sales associates. There's so much respect there that we even ask each other about our lives and goals. The hardest part is when we get customers that are having a bad day and take it out on us. We have learned how to deal with that though and we are still there to give them great customer service no matter what. I honestly don't have a most enjoyable part because I love everything I do. I love the relationship I have with the managers and the sales associates. I enjoy the games we play to motivate our team to drive sales. Most importantly, I love how everybody cares about how you grow in your education and in life.

Reebok was a very positive place to work and I would love to go back there.
Reebok had a great culture and genuinely nice coworkers.
They did hire in a lot of young adults fresh out of college. This was positive and negative as they lacked the experience to tackle the current workload, however, they were very creative. 50% discount at the onsite Reebok/Rockport store was great! Being able to dress casual as long as you were wearing Reebok clothes was great in the winter.  They have a Starbucks on site as well as a Cafeteria. It was expensive though. Employees are encouraged to work out at the on site gym and participate in activities. Their IT department is top notch. I wish they would provide a greater IT budget to help compliment their skilled IT department. The commute was great if you live in Quincy as well.

Reebok was a very enjoyable company for me to work for because they offered excellent footwear and apparel products in the core sports of football, basketball, and baseball which featured the latest technologies that teams and athletes at all levels of competition ranging from youth leagues to high schools to colleges to the NFL, NBA, and MLB were proud to wear. 

Since Reebok is owned by adidas, my guess is that that the corporate hierarchy felt that team sales was being sufficiently represented by adidas and that Reebok would be a more effective and lucrative force by focusing on Crossfit and UFC, which are relatively new entities that have developed loyal, intense, and dedicated customer bases.

Most enjoyable part is how beautiful the building is, including a football/soccer field,baseball field,indoor and outdoor basketball court,full gym. A typical day at work is helping mostly internal employees who come into the store to find anything needed. Also providing knowledge for the customers about all new technologies while keeping up with veteran technologies. I am very close with management even outside of work going to celtics games and playing basketball with them. Could not ask for better co-workers one being my best friend while others being very close friends that are hard working and fun people. Hardest part of the job would have to be standing all day while having minor knee issues from playing sports.
