Pros

- Excellent salary, benefits, and work-life balance! - Plenty of people actually work 4 hour days (+ a few hours at the water cooler or starbucks)

Cons

- If you are a person driven to make a difference, and see your difference in action, this is not the place for you. There's probably a process in place that you can't mess with. - Countless 10+ year Nike-lifers in cushy jobs that spend more time protecting their jobs than achieving in them. They've found a way to outsource or pass-off everything to others. It's apparent the company is aware of this but doesn't know how to transition people out of the company in order to bring in fresh blood.

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.

Pros

Benefits are good. Pay is okay. Usually get a bonus every year.

Cons

Management is horrible. The culture inside is awful. The workers aren't great, either. They don't pay for holidays anymore, also.
