Pros

There are some very nice people working at Nike.

Cons

Support is not properly mapped out. Everyone is just winging it. There are no manuals to follow. They are still cleaning up PCs and Macs one machine at a time. There are no automated tools such as CCleaner and automated drive defragging to keep machines running. Employees should reboot machines weekly. Mac's should be reset (SMC and NV&Pram) every few months. Talking to the wrong person can get you fired. Taking gifts will result in firing. Not wearing Nike gear will get you fired. Employees must purchase their own Nike clothing at their own expense. I wear a size 3X shirt, which is nearly impossible to find. My shoes are 11 4E, which means I can never wear Nike shoes. At around $12/hr, it is not something an employee can afford. No training whatsoever is provided.

Pros

Working at Nike was a great experience overall. The company culture is energetic, inclusive, and team-oriented. Management encourages employees to embody the Nike brand and provides opportunities for growth within retail and corporate roles. Employee discounts are excellent and make it easy to enjoy the products you sell. The work environment is fast-paced, especially during launches and holiday seasons, which keeps the job engaging. I also appreciated working alongside passionate teammates who genuinely cared about customer service and creating a positive shopping experience.

Cons

Retail schedules can be inconsistent and often include nights, weekends, and holidays. During peak periods, the store can become extremely busy, which can be stressful when balancing customer service expectations with operational tasks. Advancement opportunities can vary depending on store location and management structure.
