Bully Culture if You're Not one of the "chosen ones"

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Fringe Benefits, flexible work schedule, Summer Fridays, discounted products, Great Product, Getting to be around sport

Cons

Believe the news. It's 100% a bully culture. People get promoted based on their friends and not on their merits. It's a mean-spirited back stabbing culture. The gossip that happens in the office (from Management) is unbelievable. For a company that screams "Be True" "All Inclusive" really has a good smoke screen up when it comes to their internal culture. More often than not you will work with an extremely immature management (I mean we have VP's commenting mean things on Instagram to competitive rivals for crying out loud). The amount of drinking and partying that happens in the office is reminiscent of my college fraternity days.

Pros

Benefits are comparable to other large companies. Employee Store benefits Able to work remote Beautiful facilites

Cons

Too much Politics! I was with Nike over 15 years. The first 9-10 were fantastic! Felt like a second home when going into work. Worked with great co-workers. You were valued as an individual bringing your talents together to accomplish great things. And you Did the Right Thing. Advance 5-7 years. Nike is no longer the same company that it's founders started. It's now a big, money hungry corporation who cares more about how they "appear" than about the tenured employees who have spent years loyally supporting the Brand. When is enough ENOUGH? How much money is ENOUGH? The bigger they become, the more distance the top elite will become from the "little man", or the people who have been there for years. Just because we have been there for years doesn't mean we aren't excited to stay innovative and evolve to the next vision! Like others have said, if you speak up for what is RIGHT, you are a trouble maker and unless you brown nose, you have a target on your back. Just like I feel happened at this last "Re-Structuring" (aka layoff) session. where I would bet that a majority of the folks were long time employees. Definitely the WRONG THING!
