Pros
I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Great people, superb clients, well-rounded learning experience. My team, and especially my managers, were intelligent, driven, experts in PR and our division's specialty, and most of all, made coming to work every day rewarding and exciting. Leaders were hands-on and took the time every day to teach me the in's and out's of the industry and explain the "why" behind each thing we did. They set the foundation for a successful career in PR and taught me a plethora of knowledge. This job gave me incredible opportunities working with a roster of category-leading brands to support and lead top-notch media relations, event production, co-branded partnerships, brand and celebrity spokespeople, and so much more. If you are a hard worker who want a hands-on job that will actually prepare you for a career in PR and leadership of a team, Nike Communications is the place. It is not for the faint of heart. You are challenged every day and need to put the time in, but once you earn management's trust, you are given independence and opportunity to drive clients' business and advance your career. Since leaving due to a move to another city, I have kept my relationships with my team members because they became meaningful and valuable people in my life. Overall, if you are a hard worker and go-getter who doesn't shy away from a challenge and is willing to put in the time to prove yourself, I urge you to consider Nike Communications. There's a reason this agency has such impressive clientele and has been in business for 35 years.
Cons
Long hours and demanding clients, but these are what shaped me and taught me how to succeed in whatever situation is thrown my way.
