Pros

- The Company does offer great benefits and perks. - Exciting projects to work on - There are great people who care about the brand, the people and the work that we do.

Cons

- Massive re-orgs and layoffs every 12-18 months that impact 1000+ people. - Role and responsibility changes due to layoffs, forcing people into jobs that they do not want to do and changing the direction of their careers at Nike. - No career building regardless of what they promise. - Work load went from 65+ hours for 10 months to 30 hours for 2 months of the year. - Employees are nothing more than a number due to the size of the Company. - They have large amounts of ETW (Contract workers) that are business critical but are treated like second class citizens who spend years working as ETWs in hopes to get hired hired on as full time FTEs. - So many of the benefits and perks offered go unused since most people don't know what is available to them. - Moral bobs up and down like a yoyo throughout the year leaving large groups of people feeling unmotivated and unappreciated. - Some Managers are horrible at their jobs and should not be allowed to manage. - There are lot of BIG egos that clash on a regular basis making for an awkward work life.

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.
