Pros

The projects you work on are of high quality, budgets are high, and the talent in the weeds you work side-by-side with are excellent at what they do each in their own way. Luxurious work lifestyle. Salary and benefits are very good. Diversity and gender equity is the best I've seen at any company - and they are doing the work. There are some great people within the toxic culture which gives hope to the environment changing in the future.

Cons

Ego. A very privileged workforce that lacks empathy for each other and is quick to judge without taking time to understand nor help each other succeed. Many unspoken internal rules that are opposite of the brand mission. Constant guessing of what leadership says vs what management expects. That leads to constant internal confusion. Very little organization, toxic optimism, no consistency, little to no onboarding, no support for success, poor management, very bad communication, too many meetings, terrible time & resource management, a culture that retaliates, all the isms, good ole' boys network even with so many female workers and a renewed focus on equity in leadership. Lots of high level good intentions, very little governance with management and little follow through so issues you've heard about from years ago persist and you see great people get passed by or pushed out based on petty attitudes from an old-school corporate way of managing. FTE workers have little to no work-life balance therefore expectations of ETW and contractors vary widely depending on the attitude towards them.

Pros

This started as a summer job during COVID and extended for the next couple of years. I loved working here and in my experience had a good managers. I personally like Nike so the discount was a big perk!

Cons

The main con is pay. I was paid near minimum wage with little increase YOY. If you want to pursue corporate there are rotations that become available at the retail level, but very competitive.
