Pros

Good PTO policy, can't think of much else.

Cons

I'm going to be direct, this has been one of the most toxic work enviroment as a POC woman I have ever experienced in my life. Sexist and racist comments may not be as rampant as other places but huge incidents will be ignored by HR, you'll most likely be blacklisted and never get a growth opportunity ever. HR's only objective is to avoid a lawsuit. Be careful who you trust, this is very much a gentleman club. They will use you as much as they can and fire afterwards in a 3 min zoom call. Do not expect any opportunities, Black and Brown women do not make it to the top, EVER. Some of the most talented POCs can stay at the same position for 15 years while random incompetent white 20 something graduate become managers. 1on1s do not matter and training will not be provided. People frequently sleep their way to positions.

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.
