Pros

Great co-workers. Some nice perks. Interesting work. Awesome campus. Most people really like working here. Summer hours program is amazing. People are really passionate about what they are doing. Lots of advancement opportunities IF you look and act like a high school cheerleader or a drunken frat-boy.

Cons

Disrespectful, ageist, sexist, entitled, pampered and selfish upper management. I have had some really bad managers who clearly think only of themselves, and put zero effort into career development. Who don't bother to have a shred of courtesy for anyone on their teams. Who know they can be self-absorbed rude d**ks and get away with it. "Lower" level employees made to feel 100% disposable. Especially bad morale after the last lay-offs. Culture and values used to be so much better. Also, new open-plan work environments are counter-productive, loud and distracting.

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.
