Pros

50% off shoes and apparel

Cons

Job security is a real concern — the company has conducted layoffs for four consecutive years, creating a constant undercurrent of anxiety regardless of individual performance. Leadership churn has been near-constant, making it hard to build trust in a consistent long-term vision or strategy. Culture has shifted significantly since the pre-pandemic days. With over half the team remote, most meetings now happen over Zoom rather than in person, which has eroded the collaborative, in-person energy the company used to be known for. There's a growing sense among employees that leadership has lost touch with the culture, values, and hands-on approach that originally built the company's success.

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.
