Pros

Very fun, dynamic and dedicated group of people. Business class on all international trips, two bars with beer and wine on campus, challenging work, great fitness facilities, regularly meeting sports celebrities. Everyone is Type A so things are always happening.

Cons

Nike tends to push people as hard as possible until they break, then leave them in the dirt with no more than a thank you. Our group was the golden child of Nike for a while but took a serious turn for the worse, poor leadership was put in place and pushed out many of the great talented folks I loved working with. Everyone is Type A, so often times the wrong things are happening.

Pros

You're working for the best sports company in the world! If you love sports or have a passion to be around sports minded people and products, this is the place for you! Every day results in something new or different, which keeps you on your toes and never results in a boring routine. Co-workers are awesome and everyone seems to get along. The best part is working for a company that is constantly changing and innovating. If you put the time in, you will be rewarded.

Cons

It's retail so your schedule is never very consistent. Again it's retail, so be expected to help all kinds of customers..those who are happy and those who are not.
