Very productive and fun workspace.
Sales Representative (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 2 May 2021
The workspace and how you much you enjoy it is based on your colleagues. If you don't get along with them you are doomed. Teamwork is essential. If you want to progress in the company be open about it. The work is never ending because you need to have the store at high retail standards at all cost. The work can be a bit of an overload at times. Again teamwork.. also managers constantly change. If avoid be a 'teachers pet'. Every manager has their own expectations and goals, so learn to adapt. And oh salaries are always an issue.
Pros
The uniform is free ( just don't leave within 6 months)
Cons
Conflicts, workload and inconsistent salaries

Depends on the store you at.
Sales Consultant and Cashier (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 7 August 2020
It's not that bad, depends on whose your boss and what kind of people your colleagues are. But you constantly reminded that business first you later. I don't have much to say.

I'm happy with my current employment
Sales assistant/Cashier and visual merchandiser (Current Employee) - Cape Town, Western Cape - 20 May 2020
At Adidas we are all about team work. Team challenges. Team game changers.
On a typical day we come in a hour before shift... Prep paper work. Have a team huddle and we make sure all team members are in good shape to start the day. We have a great and enthusiastic management team and we often get training on products in store. I think retail in general is challenging. Most enjoyable part? Everyday is a good day!

Productive and fun place
Sales Assistant (Former Employee) - Brackenfell, Western Cape - 12 March 2020
Working at this particular store was amazing. The people I worked with were genuine, fun people who made me feel welcome and at home. The job was intense around sale periods and end of the year but it was always manageable.
Working at Adidas has taught me alot and for that I am greatful.

competative and challenging workplace, fun too
Sales Associate/Cashier (Current Employee) - Kenilworth, Western Cape - 21 January 2020
A typical day at work can be easy going with little foot traffic, essentially making it easy to perform our other duties such as replen of stock and stock counting. However when we have large sales on in store or around festive time it can be extremly hectic. Work becomes very fast paced and you are recquired to perform tasks in a shorter amount of time. It's non stop hustle and bustle but at the end of the day its worth it, once you see what it is you've accomplished, both as a team and as an individual.

Great working enviroment
Brand Coach (Current Employee) - Westville, KwaZulu-Natal - 11 January 2020
It’s a part time job whereby I am placed at selected stores to give technical advice about Adidas products to the customers and increase sales. During my time I learnt the different types of shoes suitable for different types of people. Management at the stores is very welcoming and the Adidas Manager whom we report to is easy to work with and always willing to help. And she promotes a positive working culture amongst the other brand coaches. The hardest of the job is making sales to a customer who has been using a specific brand and having to convince them that they should try Adidas. Most enjoyable part of the job apart from the free Adidas apperal is interacting with customers and hearing their views about certain events
Pros
Free Adidas clothing

Just specializing with sports wear
Sales Assistant (Current Employee) - Kolonnade, Gauteng - 13 December 2019
Working at Adidas provides you the opportunity to help customers find the shoes they want as a retail store associate or you can run the entire district area as a district manager.

There's a lot of work but get paid less
Sales Assistance (Former Employee) - Johannesburg, Gauteng - 4 December 2019
There's is no growth at Adidas, the area managers and store mangers bring their people and give them permanent jobs while you have been there and know everything, worse part we train and teach them yet they don't promote you.
