totally depends on you boss and how they are like; the discounts are pretty good; plus you get to test gear for companies which is neat; also you can meet pretty cool company reps, i got to meet jeff simonich bc he is the adidas rep

much more organized than most running shoe stores with good community support. tend to be more egaltarian than elitist. at least the place where fig newton and I worked. btw, good luck with you season dude.
I knew some guys that worked at the Carrboro, NC store. I think they like working there.
used to work at the store in San Antonio. It was good, really enjoyed it, had a good boss, got the Nike Employee Purchase Discount.
Akron/Canton workers aren't happy. They purchase the 3 Running Supply Stores last winter and closed all three last month.
YOU GOT TO MEET JEFF SIMONICH!!!!!
Oh my gawd, I'm quitting my job today and sending my resume to Fleet Feet!

That was VERY shitty. I did get some great deals when RS had their closing sale. Sounds like the FF guys locked up shop in the middle of the day without giving notice to their employees.
Moral? Stay away from corporate assholes.
I have worked at a Fleet Feet since 2001... Great place to work if you are running post-collegiately or pursuing a graduate degree.. The Fleet Feet stores are individually owned and operated so it would depend exactly as to where you would be working as to the quality of your experience.. All the people I know who work at various Fleet Feets across the country are happy working there
its a franchise. just like mcdonalds.
