Pros

Really casual atmosphere, benefits are awesome, good facilities, pretty campus. Some management encourages employees to take time during the day to work out.

Cons

Management has repeatedly demonstrated that they prefer to hire out higher-level positions instead of promoting from within, despite new hires sometimes having less experience. When they do promote, albeit rare, it's a popularity contest and based on subjective criteria rather than demonstrated track record and results. Some management is so entrenched and stubborn that they can't bring themselves to try new approaches to doing things, regardless of how well it might work and how much the company prides itself on innovation. Pay doesn't keep pace with similar jobs at other companies. Work/life balance can be horrible. High turnover.

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.
