Moved Cross Country for Nike Comm and Zero Regrets!
Pros
I made the decision to relocate from the west coast after hearing great things from a former coworker about Nike, and I could not be happier with my decision. Never have I worked with managers who are not only so passionate about what they do, but also determined to nurture the growth of the individuals they lead. I have already learned so much more while at Nike than I did in my previous positions because of the involvement of the expert leaders I get to work with every day. I feel I am able to be challenged to better myself as a communications professional. In addition, my position at Nike has allowed me to make great relationships with top-tier media contacts because of its reputation and the respect the media industry has for the agency. Not only this, but I genuinely enjoy coming to work every day because of my funny, intelligent and driven teammates. Nike is very much a driven, and hardworking agency, but there is no lack of fun throughout the long and at times stressful days. Additional Pros: - The way in which Nike tracks individual accomplishments is very clear, and a major plus when looking at career advancement opportunities. - Nike gives you the opportunity to work on incredibly interesting and exciting projects from industry-leading brands in lifestyle, travel, wine & spirits and more. - Beautiful work space and great location in Financial District
Cons
The reality of any job in PR is that there are long hours and challenging client work, but as long as you're driven and looking to challenge yourself it's very much doable. Additional Cons: - No 401k Matching - Benefits offered aren't the best
