Pros

Benefits and salary are pretty good. Access to employee prices at Converse, Nike, and Hurley. Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Regular events to celebrate sports, thursday night campus happy hours during the summer, Summer Hours (work your time during the week and then leave at 12 on Friday....the list goes on and on.

Cons

It's a complicated time right now - massive reorgs and leadership changes, sagging US sales, and resurgent Adidas. People are in transition and that's hard. They'll get past it though.

Pros

The sports and fitness culture is great. The most competitive and driven company I have ever worked for. They will continue to dominate the industry for years to come. Some really great people to work with. You will work with the very best talent in the industry. More than a company it is a way of life.

Cons

It is not a company for everyone. Depending on your manager it can be heaven or hell. There is little support, training or oversight of middle managers. Managers exhibit favoritism. Very inconsistent about policies. HR is primarily virtual self help. The company is hyper competitive, which often gets out of control creating a hostile environment. You see many employees burn out from the pace. NIKE often "eliminates the positions" of older employees. Many cliques.

Pros

Most of the people you will work with are awesome and there to help. Discounts at the company store aren't too bad .

Cons

Very long hours, low pay and watch out for the sharks. It is a shark tank so don't bleed. Lots of people who will say one thing and then do something the opposite. Also be prepared that once you reach a certain age of years with Nike they will lay you off. Lay off's occur every 5-7 years. Top management will claim they know nothing about it but they most likely do. It is a big boys club.
