Pros

The benefits offered at Nike puts them at the top of their competitors. There are a lot of areas to move to internally, if you want to spend your entire career at Nike. The workforce is diverse and promoting within is highly encouraged.

Cons

The politics in the HR department and other areas of Nike is disgusting, disappointing, and demotivating. A lot of unqualified people get promoted to leadership roles who are as effective as a toddler managing their emotions. They call it "building relationships" when it's really about butt kissing and "like-me" biased management that "rewards" workers with opportunities and promotions. They run their business like a mom and pop shop, not like a large global company with a diverse customer base. Very disappointing.

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.
