Pros

-A truly beautiful campus with lots of cool events -Saying you work at Nike carries cache from a career standpoint -Half price product, most of which is pretty awesome -Casual Dress expected -Compensation is OK to Good, not bad as many reviews state. IT generally pays a bit better than other parts of the company. ESPP, Bonuses, 401k Match as well. -Other parts of the company outside IT generally have a better experience -Strong CEO, Mark Parker has kept Nike No.1 in the Sports & Apparel Industry

Cons

-Management more concerned about building their personal brand at the expense of all around them. -Bad people managers allowed to continue reign of terror, fear, and intimidation as long as they deliver results. Grown adults crying at their cube happened on more than one occasion. -Little to no work/life balance, weekends, holidays, nights are the norm not the exception. Not much appreciation either. You are generally treated like a disposable commodity. -Managers who use a soft hand to achieve results and and want to develop their teams are not promoted or "managed out" of the company. -Internal candidates for upper level positions are rarely considered. Always considered best to hire from other Fortune 500 companies. This has changed our culture for the worse.

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.
