Pros

Nike has many things going for it, especially in the Portland area where they are headquarters (beaverton). I am sure many of the teams are very good.

Cons

Technology. Nike IT is a political animal, you must be 'in the clique' or you will not find it to be a place to build a career. The IT team rarely hires FTEs instead they are pretty much outsourced, and its next to impossible to convert to FTE.

Pros

Working at Nike was a great experience overall. The company culture is energetic, inclusive, and team-oriented. Management encourages employees to embody the Nike brand and provides opportunities for growth within retail and corporate roles. Employee discounts are excellent and make it easy to enjoy the products you sell. The work environment is fast-paced, especially during launches and holiday seasons, which keeps the job engaging. I also appreciated working alongside passionate teammates who genuinely cared about customer service and creating a positive shopping experience.

Cons

Retail schedules can be inconsistent and often include nights, weekends, and holidays. During peak periods, the store can become extremely busy, which can be stressful when balancing customer service expectations with operational tasks. Advancement opportunities can vary depending on store location and management structure.
